V7tAii1311,4201: YOST. i , 1 : ,'r, . . The Board ofTrade on the Pennsylvania Minority Report,- , . At eaneeting of the Board of Trade of Pittston:l34, held on Satnrday, March 8, the foll Oaring report-of a committee appointed at a.priavions meeting to consider the ml. nority report of a committee of the sock. hokiersed the Pennsylvania Central Rail road, appointed February 4th, 1881, to °asinine . - into the condition and policy of the roadkwu read: .Mr , :President and. Messrs. Directors of Boardof Trade, of Pittsburgh: Your corn. mittee appointed to examine the m nority report of a committee of the stockholders of' the Pennsylvania Railroad tfompany, and report the same to this Board, would respentfully state that after a very brief exafidi'l notion of the report,in the short time allowed . us, we are only the more firmly convinced of the ruinous policy pursued by that company toward our entire State, and especially so as regards the great cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. That the policy which creates and main , tains a great monopoly of the proper ter. mini of the road as forwarders, to the ex. 43Iuston of all others, cannot but be alike disastrous to the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, also to the great steamboat in terests as well as to the road itselLoreating, as it does, but a few isolated agents, at &heavy expense to the company,indirectly, instead of the hundreds or even thousands of steamboat owners, merchants and others, who would gladly avail themselves of the opportunity; and. bring to bear their vast capital and influence in soliciting and pro curing frhights free of cost to the road . Your committee are entirely unable to see any good reason why Leech & On., s t Philadelphia, and Clarke & Co., at Pitts burgh, should receive the enormous corn. missions paid them by the company for service' which our merchants are begging leave_ to,,perform free of all charge to the road and for which our city has been lan gaishina ever since the present policy was inaugurated. Your committee do not deem it neoessa ry to enter into a, lengthy argument at this time, when such glaring facts:as are here adverted to are brought almost daily into public notice,but ask your attention to a fewbrietextacts from the very able report of Col: Page, sutinitted to our examina. Lion. Saya this able report, on page 20; '.But beyond this we have an additional advantage so great that it alone should render our city the emporium of the United Staters, and our road the moat profitable one in any country. This is our - bonne:Mon with the Eastern head of navigation, of the vast river system of the West, This magnificent claim of Internal communication comprises 14,000 miles of navigable waters, bearing 1,800 large steamboats and penetrating every corner of-the fertile valley lying between the slopes of the Alleghenies and the Rocky Mountains. 4. Pittsburgh, commanding its nearest outlet to the sea, should be the gateway of its commerce, and the most populous city of the West, and so • Phila. d his, through which the tides of its trades should set, both ways, should be the commercial centre of the New World.— It would, therefore, seem extravagance to make even the most sober calculation of the value of a road between two such marts, pianist:suing a menupoly of a trade destined to be the largest the world hem MIL such' are the possibilities of our road if its capabilities be developed with liberality and intelligence. What its actualities are, let tbkdeallning commerce of Pittsburgh and the Sextantless warehouses of Philadels phia. answer. The foregoing pages, I think, have shown that our road Is stiffer ing with a similar decline. There are two points in the manage maul of the road which have struck me with astonishment. and which I think are sufficient to account for these results. First, the discriminations made against all be einees by river; and, secondly, the policy of considering Pit sburgh-and Philadelphia as way stations in place of termini." Again, on page 21: ".The Ohio river should bo to our road all and more than all that the lakes are to the New York Central. Navigable, on an average; for a greater portion of the year than the lakes, its supplies of freight, aro not tapped on the one hand by the Well and. Canal, and on the other by the Erie Canal, the letter of which alone, during the pest year,hae carried between four and five millions of t. Mr. Thompson himself, irealettidad&eteled to you, Jan. 19, 1860, admitted that "if we could return to the palmy days of ~Qhio st-amboating, this company wontithatm to maintain a double amount of rollf - nk:itock during the shoiit period that the river is navigable," and Mr. Lambert, your comptroller and au 1- itor, in a statement of the freight business in 1869, renewed in May, 1860, (which will be found in Appendix A,) informs us at that - very time, that "the equipment of the. Pennsylvania Railroad is not worked np to more than one half its full eapac.ty, and that it could be worked up to its full capacity, with a little increase of outlay over the oast of fuel, and wear and tear of trimk t in running all the cars loaded instead of partially so." The palmy days of Ohirtateimboating " waited but the word of your directors to return, for the steam boatmen Were °hang at the idleness watch your poll r forced upon them and were PatiltiOntutiOn to take in the cars, which Mr. Peutrigt says were rattling halLensp-, ty over Itie road, the freights which they were eager to bring. The policy of diis criMinatieg is faror of Jail freight, how ever, prevailed, and the result may be seen in a comparison between the bnsincs. done by your road, with every advantage, end that of the, New York Central with every disadvantage."

WIL /MERRY, WIC EistiliN, J. B. MUM Coriamunlestlon from the Bondholders' Committee. Another letter has been received from th e Committee of Pniladelphia Banc%ld. era, in reply to the communication of Mr. Lam lien, our County Controller. As the matter is one of vital interest to our tax payers, we copy the communication : PHILADELPHIA, March 7th, 1862. HXNRY Lamaism, Bsq,, Controller of Allegheny COUrity, DEAR but: —V9 a are In receipt of your favor of the 28th alt., and beg leave to re ply that it will be out of the question to effect any compromise upon the basis pro- posed in your first letter to Mr. Howard, and renewed in your last to us. We can neither recommend it, nor would the Bondholders accept it if welthould. The longer the matter is considered by us the more profoundly are we convinced of the entire ability of the County to pay its debt ; and the abatement we proposed in our preceding letter is as much as your people can hope, or ought to expect the Bondholders to make to avoid further liti gation and delay. We beg leave to sub• mit that It is hardly fair to conclude that the majority of the tax payers of the County of Allegheny, would decline to unite in the plan of settlement we pro. posed,, without some more authentic and conclusive way of obtaining their opinion than has yet been taken. It is true, you state that you have sub mitted our letter to those gentlemen with whom you habitually consult," and that none of them are willing to advance beyond the offer made through Mr. Hew. ard. But the sentiments of those gentle- men upon the repudiation of this debt, as well as their number and influence, are wholly unknown to ns, and we submit you, in Justine to the great interests involv. ed, and in view of the fact that we cannot recommend any terms Involving larger sacrifices on tie part of the Bondholders than those we have before named, the mat. ter ought not to be dismissed without pro. curing in some proper wiy, the expression of the whole body of taxpayers upon the acceptance or rejection of our plan. Its acceptance would relieve your community from the heavy rate of twenty,seven mills, which you inform us has been reported by you and adopted by the Commissioners, in order to defray all the accrued interest, and would substitute for it a levy of only two and a half mills, which is all that would be required to meet the interest ac cruing from Ist of Jaly 1862 to Ist of Jan. nary 1863. The collection of the latter rate we think ought to be readily secant plished. The Committee feel that they have now discharged their duty to those they repro. sent, and unlaaa a forvorable response shall shall be given to th's renewal of their proposition, they will deem it proper to convene the litmdholders, submit a state. merit of what has transpired, and ask to be discharger, and leave each individual to pursue his remedy as he may deem best. It would be agreeable to us that the same publicity should be given to this letter as has been given to the prior correspondence between yon and us upon the subject; as it is our desire that your citizens should un. deritand distinctly that we deem any at tempt to obtain larg- , r concessions from the Bondholders than those stated by us would be utterly futile. We are very respect , fully, 6t.; , J. A. FRY, l Oommittee WM.. V. PETTIT, J of W. J. HOWARD, Ja, I Bondtelds. Jos. B. Tow.EsEND, J Annual Report of the Mercy HospitaL We have received the report of this be. nevolent institution for the year ending February, 1862. From it we learn that the *number of cages admitted during the year was 189,0 f which 140 were cured,ll reliev ed, 20 died and 18 remain in the Hospital The receipts for the year, including $2 58 on hand January let, 1861, were $5,789 61, via; from pay patients, $1,941 30; from fair and card collections, $1,962 14, from donations, $247 89; poor box, $lO 84; be quests, $7O 88; burrowed, $450. The ex penditarts were $6,769 68, viz; for mar. keting, flJur, groceries, dry goods, repairs, wages, lumber, medic me, bur.a's, furni. Lure, milk, ice, soap, oil, candles, free and ooal, $4,912 88; water, tax, $2B 76; hum. ranee. $6O; printing report, $BO 60; bor rowed money returned, $605; cha-lain, $6B. This leaves a balance on hand of $49 98, and a debt of $4Ol 48 The dons. Lions in money and goods have been quite liberal. The Mercy Hospital Is a noble charity and worthy of a liberal encouragement.— We commend the following appeal, which closes the report, to our readers for perusal: As the first institution of the kind estab lished in Pittsburgh the Mercy Hospital has peculiar claims on its citizens, whilst It concentrates in itself a number of ad vantages which make it superior to any other. In order to carry forward this no ble work of charity, the Sisters confident ly appeal to tho generosity of the public for a continuation of their support. As the majority of the patients in the Hospital are received free of chasge, the expenses ,tre necessarily greater than the receipts, cud to make up the deficit It depends on the annual contributions of its friends. In addition to the current outlay, it is btu ' cloned vita an outstanding debt which presses heavily upon its siellider income Truly it would be a disgrace to the fair fame of a city which boasts of its wealth and liberality, to allow a charity so desery ing to languish for want of support.

THE EVACUATION OF MANASSAS. EVER YTHI NG POSSIBLE BURN RD WASHINGTON, March 11 —Reliable de tails of the evacuation of Manassas, and its occupation by our troops, have not been received. The official announcement states that the entire fortifications were abandoned and everything possible burned by the rebels. • A correspondent of the Tribune, dated last night, says our troops occupy Centre. vine and Fairfax Court House to night.— Two companies, under Major Hatfield, were ordered yesterday morning to go to Fairfax Court House, by the old Braddock road. When within a mile of the place they met the enemy, who retreated before them. At b o'clock last evening they en. tared the Court House, followed by a full regiment. The two companies under MaJ. Hatfield v, ere then ordered back to Fare' Cross heads, where they met the body of the regiment and bivouacked for the night. At noon toaday Hatfield's companies were within sight of the village and found that I had to •i erecust d In the right, leaving tents sun other property behind In large quantities. Lieut. Alexander, of the Lin cola Cavalry, arrived soon after with a deteohment of men and pressed on as far as Cub's Run, three miles above Ce' ire villa, where he discovered a vast number of tents left standinggs the enemy had retreated toward Gardonsville. OsNTazTILS, March 11.—Yesterday Morning our forces amounting to upwards of 2000, proceeded to Centreville and oil. curled the vinare at about four o'clock in the afternoon. It was altogether deserted. The entire command thence proceeded to Monassus, arriving there in the evening The rebels bad destroyed much of their property they could not carry away, by fire and otherwise. The bridges, railroad tracks and depot In that vicinity were ex tensively damaged. Nothing but wreck and desolation were apparent A dispatch from Fortress Monroe this evening says that all is quiet in that vt ainity.

She reaohei -Norfolk of Sunday evening, from which It may be inferred that she was not capa ble of making very good Limo. When some time aro it was stated In this correspondence that the rebels were falling from Manassas, the assertion was industriously contradicted, but 'Antra Is now satisfactory evidence that the main body left their lines nearly two weeks ago. Capt. Buchanan who commanded the Merrimac, on the first day of the tight, is reported by a telegram received to.day, to be wounded. Oapt. Jones commanded the Merrimac on Sunday. Six soathilrn men voted aye and A nay, in the House to-day, on the President's emancipation resolution, others from the border States were either not in their seats or withdrawn LATER —Upon closer examination was discovered that the rebels, before they evacuated thor much boosted stronghold, had set fire to such of their commissary stores as they could not carry off. The dace presentel a scene of the utmost deso- atton —a mess of charred and blackened ruins. The retell also blew up the bridges along the line of the Orange& Alexandria Riiiroad for some miles below Manassas, which were out of repair. The OD trabanda state that all the bridg es along the route which they came had been blown up by the rebels in their retreat. ALL PRICES Official Report of the Nation , al Victory at Pea Ridge, Ar kansas. Si' LOUIS, March 11 - -The following is the official report of (ism. Curtis. ARMY OF Tue NORTHWEST, I Pearidge, Ark., March 9. f UENERAL —On Thursday the oth inst., the enemy commenced an attack on my right, assailing and following the rear guard of the detachment under Sigel to my main lines on Sugar Creek 11011.,w, but ceased firing when ho met my reinforce ments, About 4 p. m., during the night, I became convinced that ho bad moved on so as to attack my right or rear. I there. lore, early on the 7th, ordered a change of form to night on my right which was thus becoming my left, still resting on Sugar Creek Hollow. This brought my left line across the Pea Ridge with my new right resting on Mad Cross, Timber Hol low, which is the head of Blg Sugar Creek. I also ordered immediately an advance of cavalry and light artillery, under Col. Ostuhaus, with orders to attack and break up, what I supposed would be the rein forced line of the enemy. This movement was in progress when the enemy at 11 A. M., commenced an attack on my right The fight continued mainly at these points during the day. The enemy having gained the point, held it commanded by Col. Oarr, at Cross Timber Hollow, but wore entirely repulsed with the fall of commander Mo• Oullough in the centre by the forces under Gen. Davis. The plan of attack on the centre was gallantly carried fore ward by Colonel Oatuhaus, who was im, mediately sustained and superceded by Col Davis. The entire division was sup. ported also by Sigel's command which had remained till near the close of the day on the left; Colonel Carr's division held the right under a galling fire all day. In the evening, the firing having entirely ceased in the center and the right, there had been none on theieft. I reinforced-the -right by a portion of the 2d division under Asboth. Before the day closed, I was cone vinced the enemy had concentrated his main force on 'the right, I therefore come manned another change of front forward. The change had been but partially effect ed, but was fully in progress, when at sunrise on the Bth, my right and centre renewed the firing, which was immediately answered by the enemy, with renewed energy along the whole extent of his line; 13 1,_ left, u z i atkr fugal, moved close to the hi octil i lea by the-enemy, driving him from the Mg tis- and advancing steadily toward the head'of the Hollows. I then Immediately ordered the centre and right wing forward, the right turning to the left of the enemy and cross on his centre, This .final position enclosed the enemy in the arc of a circle. A charge of infantry, extending throughout the whole line, completely routed the whole rebel force, which retired in great confusion, but rather safely, through deep, impassable defiles of cross timber. Our 1058 Is heavy. The enemy's can never be ascertained, for the dead are scattered over a large field.-. Their wounded, too, may many of them be lost and pariah.

Y., and for the fabrication of cannon and projectiles for the government. It proposes an appro• priation of half a million for that purpose. Also for the establishment of a depot for a saltpetre and powder factory and magazine at Indianapolis, Ind . and for a powder factory at Trenton, N. J., and appropria ting $200;000 for,esch. Adjourned. Setaarg.—The morning hour having ex pired the confiscation bill wu taken up Mr. Carlisle, of Va , proceeded to speak at length against the bill. He contended that it was unconstitutional, and the Su. prune Court would have pronounced it so if ever the ease came before them, such a sweeping proposition so unjust and cruel a measure was calculated to continue the war forever. He contended that .f slaves were emancipated the only result could be either their extermination or re enslave ment. He denied that the Constitution was any the less bending in :true c f war, than in tme of peace. He quotes from tie Presiden., inaugural and other messages, the proclamation of Gen. Sherman, Gen.

He thought that if a procla mation of anuneCy was made, we could have peace in ninety days Ile said that trait/lotions had been made against his own loyalty by those who think that in order to be loyal a man must be an Aho. !Monist, yet he had perilled his all in de. fence of the Union.

The responsibility of t ' he late die. aster rests on the government tr not tang ago sending a military exp ition against Norfolk. The officers of t Navy have boon ready at all times to b reak the Potomac blockade and the Potomm fiotils la had been under orde-s for seviral days for the purpose, but the superior military officers who had command of all the forces, lorbld the expedition, and the res. ponsibility does not net on the Naval Department at least.
