With the three companies under my command, l was stationed allt-rna‘tely at Agua Nueva and the Pass 0! Palomas, both outposts. For more than one month alter my n‘r‘rival at Saltillo there were con stant tumors or the apprtath ol the ene my, and the great advantage they had over us (being in their midst) made my duties extremely arduous. They had every means at knowing our precise (ontlittun from day to day, tthilst we louttd it very difficult to find out any thing concerning them. I explored the country in their direction by day and by night. and for about ~thirty ' days neyer, slept _with my clothes oil. and most generally spurred.— On the 19th ol January llelt my camp at the Palomas Poss wizh Capt. C. M. Clay. Lieut. Davtdson and thirty chosen men taken equally from Milatu’a, Pennington’: and Clay’s companies. and travelled about eighty miles towards this place on the Pa lotnas road. antl finding no enemy and hearing nothing 0t him, I bore “eatwnrd and passed the mountain into the plain, through tthich the Agua Nucvu road pasa c 9, which I struck between the hacienda lncarnacioo and San Salvador. At this place I met with tnany Mexicans. who gave me the most positive assurances that to their knowledge there was no Mexican army in the neighborhood. and it being late in the evening ot the third day of my reconnaissance, and my men being tired and hungry, I (hetermined to go to the ba cienda. about ten miles distant, and spend the night. , At this place I met with Major Borland, ol the Arkansas cavalry, with about lorty men. who had been there three days. a waiting thé arrival of an additional torce, to enable him to attack a detachment of the enemy. two hundred strong. then said to be at the town of Salado, about lorry miles distant. Our united torces we con sidered equal to the undertaking; and-on the follovnng evening. a little before night, we started on this enterprise. Alter tra vellingahout twelve miles we met with some Mexicans. who assured us there were no Mexican soldiers at Salado, and that the distance-was at last sixty miles. ‘We had no guide, and the night was very dark, and Mremendous storm was comingup. 'lheae facts, together wlth the information given us of the nonexistence of the enemy insathe neighborhood, determined as to re~ turntbthe hacie‘nda.’ , Had we continued our; route',one or-two hours longer we should h‘avamet Gen.

' It might, perlrspv. be demonstated to the satisfaction ol those “ho have given but little attention. that as a mere matter 0! dollars and cents, such sale ought to take place; birt I aver, without fear at contra diction..,that no considerable portion ol int-"people ot Pennsylvania. woatrljcver a gree to sell on the conditions proposed in this bill. The policy ol selling the public works. I coolers, has been urged with great tenacity in certain portions of the State, and the subp-ct has heretofore clai med the allt'tttitw ot the Legislature—nor “as it strange that there should hasebet‘n some (lisptintlltln to murmur about the management ol these works. it Was rloubtlew, a proper subject tor complaint. “rat the cost of their construction was prodigal in the extreme. That such was the tact no man will now deny. A por tion oi this unnecessary expenditure I prc woe, is attributable to the want ofexpe~ rience on the part ol our public agents; but chiefly. to the prodignlity of the times in which the)" were con~tructed ; and for many years alter their completion, the net l receipts were very small. But. sir. I l maintain. that lot the last five or six feared the receipts trom the main line ol our pub he works have been such asto be encour . agingto tho peop'e ol the State, and such as to give us great hopes for the luture.—- And believing as I do, that the increase of the net revenues for the last five years at ford but a moderate data upon which to Calculate for the luture. [have come to the conclusion, that as a mere question ol financial policy. it is unwise and inrpolitic to sell that improvement. By setting the main line the State will part with the vi tality ol her public worlts, and she would still have hanging on her skirts. the bran ches. which as yét‘. produce but little rev enue; she would, then-tore. continue to be subjected to a large portion of the ex pense-oi her internal improvement sys tem without‘the hope ol realizing any con siderable amount '0! receipts. Now,air. I shall not undertake to demonstrate. by a calculation. of the luture growth and prosperity at this country.’ what the busi~ areas on the main line ofouri'nprorements must necessarily be. I should fall short in the performance of .a task of this "In“! nituue., Imagination. air. cannot. reach _ the reality of what the growing greatness of this country is tohe. "l‘he increase ql populationfime increase‘ot _husioes‘s at every: description. and, ‘espeetslty‘the ll!- 847 crease ol internal tonnage in our State. it? almost incredible. If you estimate such increase tor the short space ol twenty years. you will find by the most moderate data that can be taken, that the main line ol our improvements. from Philadelphia to Pittsburg. must. long ere the expiration at that period, he patronized"to the lull ex. tent ol its capacity. and cannot fail to give to the rornu‘ronwealih a revenue nearly. if not quite equal to the whole interest upon her public del-t rand thus relieve the peo »ple lronr the burihens of taxation. _ But. sir. it is proposed to place this val uable link of our public works in the hands iii a company. by first selling to in dividuals stock to the amount ol ten mill ,‘ions. and the State remaining a stockhold “er to the some amount ; thereby creating a kind oljnint stock company between in clisiduals and lhe'Coininonwealth. And the questions naturally arise. Mr. Speak‘ er, why should this be done P \Vhat good consequences can result tram such action? Should we do so as a mere matter of e- Ctlflu'liy in the management of this im provement P What evidence have we that large companies manage their busi ness more economically than the State ? l'he history of most of the incorporated companies in this counlrv Wtiultl furnish no such evidence 3 and I regret that I have not the records ol some at them at my command. for I am confident Ihey \rould show that the impression which seems to exist extensively, that there is greater economy observed in the business at companies. is lounileil in error. It would be seen that generally the salaries paid to their officers and agents are much larger than lliose paid by the State lohers. I'hat prodignlsly, in its worst lorms, has general y preniled in the government ol those companies. and that their projects .haie been as iiuionsry and as unsuccess lul as any the State has heretofore under lakeo. is matter ol history. And sir,| might reler you for instance. tothe Mount Savage Iron company, the president of \‘ltitil received an anrual salary of (en Ihousand dollars—to the Baltimore and ;()iiio, and Reading railroad companies, the '[iresidents ol “hit‘h receive from five to lnlx thousand per year ; nearly double the ramouri! (0 each that is now paid to our ienlire board 0/ Canal Commissioners. l bt‘ltt‘Vt'. air, that would be paid to officers and agriitsmn this improvement. under a company such as i. proposed to be cri-a ted by this bill. Would be infinitely larger than those now paid by the Siate.and We should still have the expenses at a Board ot Canal Commissioners to pay in addi tion. “here then is the authority lot the assertion that the management ol this branch ol our public wwks. il placed in the hands ol 0 company, would Cost much less than it now costs the State? For one. Mr. Speaker, I have not yet seen a lsct or heard a well louniled reason to sus tain the assertion. Bul I now desire.

The most the State could have any guaranty of receiv ing under the provisions of this bill. as I shall presently show. would be the inter est en the ten millions subscribed by indi vuluals. The bill promises more, but I fear it would never be realized. The tenth section of this bill. to which I wish to call the particular attention oftho Senate. declares that "after the expenses incurred in maintaining and managing the said works shall have been paid out of the gross receipts of the company. one per cent. of the surplus shall be invested by the di rectors in the bonds of this Commonwealth. which. with the entire interest accumula ting thereon, shall constitute a contingent fund for the purpose hereinafter provided: out of the residue of the said net profits the directors shall. semi-annually, declare and make a dividend to the stockholders of the said company. not exceeding five per cen tum per annum on the amount subscribed by each stockholder; and neither the stock lot the said company. our the said'dividend, shall be liable to taxation for State. county. city or other purposes; the vrhole excess of the said M“ profits shall be paid by the company into the State Treasury on or be fore the third day in January. in each'year, either in cash or in the bonds of this Com monweslth.” So far. Mr. Speaker. this section bears the appearance of fairness to the State; but the follosving fatal proviso. attached to theend of it, exhibits its real lcharacier. and I cannot see ithy the framer of this bill did not say In plain words that the State should not receive more than five per cent. and the balance should go to the stockholders of the company. The provi so says "that the said company shall not be required to pay to the State a larger div— idend than five per centum in any one year. on the par value of the stock retain~ A ed by the State; and if there be a surplus alter paying this last named dividend. it shall be divided among the said stockhold ers." Thus it will be seen. Mr. Speaker. that the State. under the most favorable view of the subject, could only realize'fivo pet cent. on the ten millions of stock retai ned by her. and we can have no guaranty that she tvuuld ever receive one dollar a bove the interest on the ten millions, re quired to be subscribed before the issuing of letters patent, which amounts to 8500.- 000 annually. While on the other hand. I have shown, air. that she is perfectly certain to realize an annual income of 8 much‘ larger sum. backed by the prospec tive increase. which mustbe incident to the prosperity of the country, and the increase of business and tonnage on our public works .Why then should iijegi've away a certainty for an uncertainty Ti" \VVhy ha zard the future welfare of the State in a single scheme of this kind? Thepower‘ and patronage of this company might be welded in stich manner as to yield fine profits to the stockholders. whilst the Com monwealth might not realize one centof dividends. It is. Mr. Speaker. to‘say‘the" least of it, as a financialscheme‘, a;wild rXperiment—an experiment for the benefit of our loanliolders at the hazard of the State. But. air. if it_even promised fair as a financial measure. Al could never agree to its passage in its present form, for the powers proposed to be conferred upon'lhis company. are at once dangerous and alar thing; and I think we tvill do wisely ‘ to keep our public works as they new are. in our own hands, and under the manage‘ ment and government of the people. The sth section of this bill authorizes the election of twelve directors,'and con stitum the Canal Commissioners. direc— tors on the part of the State. The comps ny would have twelve directors, and the State three. and for all practical purposes she might as well have no direction at all. The 7th section gives the‘compsny " free power to conduct and regulate the trans -portation of passengers and freight“ affinity,“ ‘ kinds on said works. and to appoint all the officers and agents. and to regulate their 1 wages and compensation.” The Bth see too authorizes " the company topurehase, construct and hire steamboats and other vessels on the Ohio river. in connection ‘ with the said works. and all care, bolsls‘a'nd machinery necessary for the transporiidon ‘ of passengers and tonnage. and t 9 ‘r'h'site' and construct any canals and railroads iii .. any of the counties of Washington. .0115- glieny.
