Probaolu Loss of tub Pilot Boat Wm. Gas
ton.?—On‘Monday, about sunset, tho pilot boat
IVm. Gatton, having on board a pilot nnd two ap
prentices, whileCruizing outside saw n brig, sup
posed bound for this port. Tho pilot, having led
the IPm. Gallon in charge of one of tho appren
tices, with instructions to follow in tho wake of the
brig, took w tlh him the other in tho skiff to pull
alongside. When coming up with tho brig, it be
ing then dark, it was ascertained that she was
bound for Charleston. On turning around to make
for the pilot boat, she was missing, and ailor vainly
pulling nbout for some time In search of her, they
boarded tho light ship where they remained nil
night. Having seen nothing of tho IPm. Gailon,
tho next morning they repaired to town, when
tire pilot boat G. D. Camming immediately went
in search, and up to^lnto hour last night had not
returned.
The apprentice who was left on board the IPm.
Gatton is named Gaylb, and has been appren
ticed about two years. •
OCfr Tire steam-ship Cherokee left this ’morning
at 6 o’clock, with 23 cabin and 35 steerage passen
gers.
Tiic Weathxb.—Accounts continuo to reach
us from various parts respecting tho late snow
storm. The Macon Mtttenger, the Millcdgcville
Recorder nnd the Dalton Eagle coucur in the
opinion thnt much injury has been done the cotton,
corn and wheat crops, and also tho fruit trees,
and that in many localities they have been entirely
destroyed
OtJ- Wo learn that there was a heavy frost on
tho St. Johns, E. Fin., on Monday last.
8tockwsll’s Panobama.—By referring to the
advertisement our readers will perceivo that the
first exhibition of this celebrated work of.art will
take place this ftveuingat the Theatre. Wo bav
before us a letter from a friend in Macon, who is
a most judicious observer, recommending it to
our favour in the strongest terms. Most pano
ramic exhibitions arc pleasing and attractive—
that of the Mississippi with Us varied scenery
must be particularly so, and we presume it will
be the desire of all to become acquainted with it
through so agreeable a medium; Thoso who
have seen the Father of Rivers will wish to re
fresh their impressions and pronounce upon the
faithfulness of the work. The Editor of the St.
Louis Republican, who appears to speak from tho
card, thus describes this Panorama:
•‘We have been favored with a sight of it in
all its different stages, and wo bear witness to its
merits. The sceuery all along the great Father
of Rivers has been faithfully transform! to the
canvass. The uumbcrless boats nsceuding and
descending aro nil fac limitin', indeed, in urnuy
instances, tho representations are so life-like that
the features of eoino well known Captain, who at
the time is snugly cnscouscd in his berth below,
can be easily imagined. Along the upper river,
(which is now for the first time represented.) and
especially in tho vicinity of Fort Sncliing, the
monotony of the scenery has been happily varied
by numerous groupings of Indiaus. They arc
pursuiug their different avocations, and in their
peculiar way. Tho whole painting is, to our
knowledge, afaittfful tkeleh, and a person at all
familiar with the scenery of the river cannot fail
to rccogniso it. The painting occupies nboul
throe times the space of Ranvnrd’s celebrated
Panorama,and tlie whole tirno required for its
exhibition is about two hours and a half. It is
the must magnificent production of tho kind now
extant, and reflects great credit upon Mr* Stock-
well's untiring perseverance.”
Thb American Art Union.—We have lately
teen a proof sheet of the engraving to be distrib
uted by the American Art Union to subscribers
tbo current year.* It is in the hands of the Hon
orary Secretary for this city, G. S. IIardinc
Esq., and in our opinion clearly transcends in
merit any one of those hitherto issued. The sub
ject is « Queen Mary Signing the Death Warrant
of Lady Jane Grey." Several folios of Barley'
ftebinga or delineations or Rip Van Winkle will
also be distributed with the above. These etch'
ings form a very important and pleasing addi
tion to the annual engraving. They are done
with great delicacy and truth of expression, and
tell their own story so effectually as hardly to
stand in need of tho quotationa taken from the
work they are designed to illustrate, which ac
company them.
Mr. IIardino has also received a very pretty
sketch of the paibting which haa been selected
for engraving and distribution next year. It is
_ _ No. 2 of Cole’s beautiful series of pictures, enti-
Tlie \Vnlnut nnd Peach,from the same country, tied “The Courie qf Life." It represent a youth
*0° GUfou from Media. _ _ guiding his boat, which dashes forward on an
arrowy sjream, through \ region of enchanting
soencry—the eyes of the young man fixod upon
beautiful Castles that float in tire distant aerial
perspective. The artist assigned to this work, is
one of acknowledged celebrity, and we have no
doubt that it will prove tiro most valuable of all
the engraving!

out In iug chained to the spot, perhnps, for hours
tdgother. The fascinations of those early loved
ones, so near and dear, ngnin surround you, and
tho realities of the past scan more identified with
your;existence U>nn those of the present. Tho
counsels and chiding*, nnd the affections and en
couragement* bestowed fiom parents and elderly
friends, , arc full of a deep and tender feeling
scarcely realized when the recipient of all. Ancl
then the little items of news, and the raillery, nnd
the urgent invitation to visit, and sometimes to be
present in scenes of interest, remind you of youth,
and'!qvc,.and beauty, which have passed away.
Then cornea, 100, 'the mention of the death of
those whose memory irnd almost faded from you,
one’s own charmed circle being os yet unbroken.
Sad disasters come back with appalling distinct
ness, and pestilence rages and- spends ns force.—
M'^ro. matters of feeling appeared of deep mo
ment, and you almost smile at the perturbations
of Hie youthful inind now that you have seen the
end or nil. Then the political news/ with the
marriages of the day, and the ideas of some about
tho improprlety of these matters, arc now before
you tie matters of history: and you can hardly
conjecture how tire world have go tie on without
these events.
Hr:Li.r:s and Dahlias—A modern writer, who
has evidently,-deeply Studied the most charming
production* of nature, says that “Dahlias are like
m jr*t beautiful Women without intellectuality;
‘tey strike you with astonishment by their exte-
flpfotidor,.btilnre miserably destitute of those
lerties which distinguish and render agreen-
less imposing flowers. Had nature given the
fragrancp of tho rose- .or stock to the dahlia, it
would have been the most magnificent gem of tire
garden—but wanting odour, Jt is like a fino wo
man without a mind.”

An Irish Letter.—'The following letter from
an Irishman in this country to his wife in Irefoud,
was handed to us a day or two siuco by a vener
able Irish gentleman with permission to make it
public. Tire letter is superscribed as follows:
To My Wire at
Tim Flaherty’t
in Ireland.
If gone to bo forwarded.
May the two—1847.
My Dear Judy
I commenced this letter yesterday If it does’nt
come to hand you may allow that I’m not hero
but gone to Quebec—Tell Burney that his brother’s
family is nil defld entirely barrin tho cow God
bless her—I’d write you more but os there is no
inenns of sending this, I will just let it go ns it is
—Rcmcinbcr mein your prayers, ond to nil the
Flaherty’s No more at present from your loving
husband if olive Tlmdy O’Riley, nnd if dead, Goa
rest his soul—P. S.—if' this letter does’nt reach
you must let me know.by return of Post and don’t
wait for nnother until you hear from mo again,
but write me immediately and let mu-know how
youro mining on.
N. H, 1 have altcrod my mind nnd won’t ' send
this letter after all,ao you can answer or not at nil
at all just nx it plnzo you-r^Glvo my love to the
children— when you come to thc.cnd of this letter
don't read nny more of it but just answer, by the
first post office yours until death and after, ff not
before. Yourc own Tlmdy O’Riley

Not a Faib Question.—“Now, Patrick,’said
a judge, “what do you say to the charge, are you
guilty or not guilty?”
“Faith ! but that’s difficult for yer honor to ax;
kt alone mcaclf.' Walt till 1 hear the evidence-
distributed by the Art Union last year, we have
come to the conclusion thnt many of them could
not have been worth tho acquisition. The object
of the Ugion is, we suppose, the encouragement
of native talent, nnd tbe-improvement of art and
of public taste. We cannot think" that the pur-
chase of so many picture* not worth tire frames
in which they are set, is calculated to effect either
object. One great want, it is now in the power
of the Union to supply. Tlrat is, good topies, by
good American Artists, of the great original pic.
lures abroad. Ten or fifteen thousaud dollars
year spared from the ample means of the Union
would suffice for this object, and even enable'
meritorious artists to be sent out with commis-
sions to study the style of the old masters, and
take repealed"copies of a particular picture until
one be proceed worthy of being retained in the
gallery of the Union, or of being distributed,
Such a course would do much to elevate the stand
ard of taste, and still leave funds enough on hand
to purchase any quantity of bud pictures for those
who prefer to have the chances of drawing them
multiplied
Tub BaiioaiN.—-Tho Washington eorreapoiiH-
enl of tiro Charleston Courier says: “In the
Northern States the frec-soilcrt are coalescing
with the Democrats, and this is the cause of tire
result in Connecticut. It is not improbable thut
the Northern Dcinocfata and free-soil members
will unite in the next Congress to pass the Wil-
mot Proviso. We have indications that the
Northern Democrats are determined to press that
question upon Gen. Taylor. They do not intend
that he shall longer have the benefit of the ques
tion both with tire South and with the North.

ing rates of assessment:
On Real Estate 43 cent* ad valorem.

“Secession!”—Yo->, that i> the Wold employ-
ed by a writer in tho Columbia Ttlegraph, who is
tlenjptiug to klr-w in a series of articles, that tho
South Ims “ much to gain” by "Mention This
goodly fabric of our liberties, tho handiwork o
our Revolutionary sires, is to bo tout down.—
Those old apostles of freedom on a new and
mighty Continent, each of whom was an equal of
Brvtus, did not understand their missionT tho
Union, the offspring of tlfeir wisdom and patriot
ism, must be broken up; and the thirty States of
tho confederacy scut adrift upon the dark and
tempestuous sea of civil war and bloodshed, ilually
to bo wrcckod upon unseen rocks and inhospita
ble shores, or captured and scuttled by tire pirat
ing enemies ol human rights. New Englaud,
the bhth-plucc of American libcity, is to be
wrenched from tbo Union, tobecomo first a prey
and finally a colony of some European despotism.
Tho gigantic West, hemmed in by her geograph
ical positiuu, must make war upon tire South nnd
the East for an outlet by the Mississippi nud along
the Northern lakes; snd thus invite tho fatal inter
position of other nations, whose rulers would not
fail to use the opportunity for their own aggran
disement. And the South, the “ sunny South,”
the fond of plenty and prosperity, though united
for a time, would soon be distracted by a tervile
war, and invaded by nn army of fnuatical cru
saders from tho North and tire rest of the world,
far outnumbering the sands on the sea shore.
In this “wreck oP’ freedom and “crushoP’States,
each innn would become a Cain nnd turn upon
his brother. The fond would be lighted un by the
glare of burning houses, and “the night made
hideous” with the screams of flying females and
homeless childrcn. Tlio uatiun would present tho
appearance of a vast city on fire; while tho des
truction of our property, ouj rights, our lives, and
all that waa dear to man on earth, would form an
nppalliugitcm among tho ruins of tire conflagra
tion. Who deairca to witneaa such a scene? Is
there a man within tlio broad limits of this
ocean-bound Confederacy, whoso heart is in tlio
right place, who doc* not in imagination turn
from such a catastrophe with horror ? The wretch
who fired the Ephesian domo has won for his
name a place among thoso which never die; but
the traitor to the human race whose incendiary
ambition can only be satisfied by applying tho
torch to the Temple of our liberties, erected ns it
urns upon the bones and cemented with tire blood
of men whom two hemispheres unite in canoni
sing, will reap for himself an immortality of in-
fsnry which shall increase as long as tho heavens
endurol
But will this Union be destroyed ? Wo think
not. H is beyond tho teach of the Northern fa
natic and the Southern madman. The Mississip
pi is a mighty artery running through tho body
of the nation, which cannot be severed. Our
mountains and rivers. Rail-Roads and Telegraphs,
arc so ninny ligaments which, like bands of iron,
bind us indissolubly together. Though the hands
of a Washington and Fbanklin, a Jeffebfon-
and Adams, a Hancock and Madison* be but
clods of the valley, and their forms long since
passed from the earth, "these dead but sceptcred
sovereigns still rule our spirits from their urns.”
God has made us what we are for wise and noble
purposes; nnd wo caunot believe thnt it is a part
of his future dispensation thut this Republic, lire
hope no less qf the friends of Christianity than of
the freedom of man, ahnll bo dashed to pieces.—
We have a mission to perform, not of d blind
'manifest destiny,” but as a light set upon a trill
for tho nntions of the earth; and when that is ac
complished, the Union, with all other sublunary
things, will be dissolved.
03- Proscription seems to be the parrot cry of
tho Democratic press from the Washington Union
down ad infinitum. “Headt off," tho "axe," the
‘guillotine,” *;feroeiout” and “bloodthirsty execu.
lionet 1, nnd "tableU iff protcription," are every
day phrases with them. A reader of the Union
would suppose that the national capital had been
erected into one great slaughter-house, nnd that
the scenes nf hlnodahed which dully nee nr nr*
equalled only by tho "Reign of Terror" which
cursed Franco in the days of her first Revolution.
He will be relieved however, when he learns
that all this “holy horror" of the octogenarian
libeller is assumed. Were the position of parties
reversed, no one would so readily justify a “war
to tiro knife” ns lie and his erhuet. Nothing
would satisfy .them but “blood.” A political in
quisition would bo established in every city, town
und hamlet in the nntion; and the unhappy offi
cial who failed to corns up to their iron rule,
would be broken upon tho rack.
It is refreshing to meet with one Democratic
journal which has the manliness to rcbtfke such
hypocricy. We commend tbo following extract
from the Muscogee Democrat to the special atten
tion of the ex-organisl and his country repcaiert
“We cannot join in thohuennd cry of proscrip
tion now raised against General Taylor on ac
count of removals from office. So far, we have
not seen the manifestation of any proscriptive
spirit. But if it were so—if the members of Gen.
Taylor’s cabinet have erected the polilinil gull-
lotiire and commenced the work of decapitation,
what of it? Do the office-holders under the Into
Administration possess any hereditary claim up
on the stations they havd so long filled ? lfovc
they any right to crpcct different treatment than
dismissal ? Is not tiro boasted Democratic priori
pie of .“rotation in office” opplicoble to (ire whole
“posse cojnitatus” of Treasury pap-suckers at
Washington arid elsewhere? Most certainly!—
Why then whine and whimper liko a whipped
school-boy, nbout a mallei which is incvllablc’on
every change of Administration,and which would
have been just and right, even had n Democratic
Administration succeeded that of Mr. Polk !—
Gen. Taylor lias a right to call around him his
fi iends, and should not be anathematized for exer
cising bis high prerogative. Were there no other
advantage, u general change of office-holders,
every four years, would break un that atiti-rc-
f >ul>limn notion which some entertain, that they
iuvc 0 sort of pre-emption right to office, and its
transmission to their posterity unimpaired. That
accomplished, we slrould not Iraveso many foz'
nnd pampered officials strutting about Pennsyl
vnnia Avenue and elsewhere, to the detriment of
public businesa. Wo repeat, then, let the walk
ing papers be made out, grumble though they
may ul the wholesome application to themselves
of what they once considered a very good rule,
when applied to their illustrious predecessors 1"

It consists of one hundred and eighty acrea, and
requires, on an average, one hundred and thirty
men and twenty women to cultivate it. Eighty

The average profit, for the last thirty years, has
been fifteen thousand dollars unnually, though at
one time, for twelve, years, the sr*le of dahlias
alone netted fifty thousaud dollars per annum,

ef he didn’t rh\p off in a gallop, a lnrfin like thun
der. 1 was ntnns'd some, but nrtcr a while, who
should come along but Jack Jojiea n whoopin, and
nrtcr we’d seed ono another, say I, ‘Jack, what’n
the thunder’s all thise snplins a sot along the road
here, with tho rope* tied at the top ?’ ‘Ah!’ says
he, ‘that’s the giro ft*, nnd them’s wires.’ ‘But
what’s it fur?’ aajrs I. ‘Why,’ replied Tom *IIoa-
lctter who had been spcllingout some information
on the subjcct from a not very late newspaper,
thnt had been dropped by accident in that section
of the country. ‘Why, I tell yer, it’s the Telly—
fnrff—Ir; and people kin send news from one place
o another cn it; nnd Uncle Jeff’s brown filly,
what isn’t to he beat nt a quarter stretch in these
parts, wouldn't be no- whnrs with it, even cf he had
a clear road, and a thorn bush under his tall.’ ”
"Maybe the man whnt owns Telly—grnff—h,
or what’s hit name, wants to bet on tnnt game,”
broke in Uccle Jeff, bridling up nt tho idea that
'Brown Bet 1 could be beaten. “Ef he docs, oil
lie’s got to ro is to name theday nny time between
now nnd spting plougliin.”
“Oh, but," replied ifuslcttcr—nnd, by tho bye,
Hn/dcttcr wes considered ns a lending man iu
Boom County, and expected to go to the Legisla
ture in a yew or (wo—"you see, Uncle Jeff, thit
critter is oik of Thunder by Lightnin !”
“Ain’t worth a d n 1” was Uncle Jeff's re
ply, thinkisg tho remark had refercitco to nn old
broken down stallion in the next county. “Thun
der used to lie a good hoes, but Iris colts ain't worth
shucks now!”
“You don't understand,” says Tom.
“I don’t,” interrupted Undo Jeff, “You see, •
continued Tom, “tncy’ve got a mnehiuo nt tho
end of tho wire, thnt a feller manages, nnd let’s
thc fcUcr it the other end know what’s about.”
“Ilow’s tknt?” “Why, you sec they’ve got a
little thins whnt keeps a movin’ up nnd down,
an«l it wrfles nt one end whntovcr the feller nt the
other wants it to; nnd cf ho just bears down hard
it kinder nnkes little marks on a piece of pnper,
1 don’t 'znctly understand it yet; but I spec -he
pulls ‘fista lectio,’ and then it scratches over the
Jiaper.”
■ “Yes, tut after a while he’d pull It nil his way,'
suggested an analytical henpot hoosicr nnd home,
spun, Iha. Irnd not ns yet taken nny part in the
oonverrat'on, "and I believe it talks, for one of
them Irishmen who dug the holns'told me it did.'
“ Why,Gex. you fool,” replied Tom, “don’t you
e when the follow nt the other end wants to an
swer, ho’ci pull It back, nnrt *.» keen nit square
having a lectio to spurc at both ends f”
“Oh, yc*,” replied Gcz, perfectly non-plussed
by such nn overwhelming answer.
“Torn Hillins,” spoke’out Uncle Jeff, "whoJivcs
down in millcreokbottom, had tuk his wife and
gouo a vlsitin,’ somewhere or other, to see his re
lations, nud nrtcr he’d bc«!n gone a couple of weeks
concluded to come home ngin, nnd startin’ off
with Nnncy, ho got lost, and didn’t git home till
nrtcr night. Thcnoxt mornin’ the first thingho
so ’s was tho posts, and wire n top on ’em 5 and
thinkin’ they’d ho convenient ir a lectio lower
down, he ups and chops three or four of ’em off
nnd sets ’em up again about half a rod high, for
Nancy to dry the clothes on, and that very evenin’
n couple of fellers comes down the road a troopin’,
and when they seed what Tom had done, they
was ns mnd ns nil creation, nnd cussed ‘some.’—
Tom told ’em hedidn't think Ire was a doin’ any
harm, and they said as how he’d ‘broke off the
connexion j’ and Tom, wlro’d quarrelled with his
wife's sisters, thnt lie went to sce» ups nnd tells
’em, thnt he did’nt care a «!—n fur any of his
connexion, and that they war tho dod durnedest
cross grnit.o le.-*t act he’d ever need in nil his
lift-; nnd Sully’* been a crowin' over him ever
since, tailin’ him the strange gentleman knowed
all about it’s havin’ been his fault.' “Yes, nnd
thnt same night,” broke in home-spua, “Tom
Harrison, what lives up in the Bluffs, cutoff about
a hundred yards of the wire, to make him a
mink trap on the same plan na ho’d seed a rat
trap, when he went down to Cincinnati thnt time,
nnd got ‘stuck’ in tho corn trade.” “Let’s go
out nnd look at it ”
A general move wns tho rejoinder, nnd in a few
minutes there might have Irocn seen collected
around ono of the poles, a group,—according to
magazine literature—worthy of the pencil nf Sal
vator Rosa. “They kin talk, kin they?” en
quired Horur-spun, putting his car closo to tho
pole,—“Hush f”
“Kin you hear nothin’?”
“Well, d d ef I don't believe I do boys, a sort
o’whisperin’like!”
"Climb up the pole,” suggested some one, “you
can hear better then.” And tho next moment
Tom was “swarming” up the podt, looking like a
menagerie edition, of a superannuated panther
with his tail cut off. He hua arrived at the top.
ond (rail just reached his Ircnn round, nnd applied
it to tho wire, when with a yell and spring, lie let
go nil holds, and enmo down Hkcastuunod Wood
pecker, alighting first on tho roof of a chicken
coop, thence through the sinre, to the amnzement
of its feathered tenants who incontinently “miz
zled.”
Five minutes, a.nd a poll of spring water
brought back Tom to all the senses thntnnturc in
her mysterious dispensation I km allowed to Hoo-
siera in general. His nrcount of the matter waa,
that after "l.e’d got tip tlrar, he could hoar one of
them fullers nt tho end of tho wire,—ho waa’nt
sure which end, but allowed it wns the Louis
ville,—ns them Louisville folks, he’d heard, were
mighty pious,—a whistlin’ ‘old hundred’ ns plain
ns day. (There wns a tolerable stiff breeze nt the
time, and Eolus .was moaning across the mighty
harp that Morso invented ond dedicated to tire
God of winds,—by the bye, that’s a small touch
of tho subliitiu'i) “When uli of a xundeu, he felt
as if somebody had tuk him the orfullcstcn-whol-
lop nrross the nape of the neck, and sent him '
like a barked squirrel.”
The truth is, that this occurred nbout the same
time when thnt white owl was found with its feet
.twisted (?) in the wires, somewhere in Pennsyl
vnnia, perfectly dead from repented shocks o.
electricity. Thpy used strong, r lurttcrics then
than they do now,—perfect “Braggs batte
ries,” and besides tho rash bird.,trusted himself
on the wires just at the time when Polk's annual
message wns “in trannitcr.’’ He accordingly
had the worse case of cholera on record. •
Three »inys nftcr tho nhovo occurrences, the
New-York reporters ticked doimt tlio nstouudin;
intelligence that “R. Jones, to-dny, struck
Thompson on the head with a billet of wood .
1497 Aiin-strcel,” The wire broke immediately
in two thousand pieces, coiling around the posl'
like scathed serpents; every reporter along f*
lino fainted ; and the Louisville Courier, with

Savannah, March 19, 18-19.
At a meGUnff of tho Hoard of Directors, tho
following Preamble mul UtAqluHdlfb were imMcd;
WmnrcAs, Tho Capital stock Of this Company
subscribed is only $2,650,000. of which is paid in
the bum of $3,549,lt>5, while tho cost of con
structing ami equipping the Road, stands upon
its books at $2,660,000, after having charged
account for depreciation of tJVer doiti tiro adm of
$ 218,914 29, which has at various times been ta
ken from the Reserved Fund 01 earnings of ths
Company: "
And, Whereas. There fo still a Reserved Fund
Of #160,081 SIS, of which at loMt #100,000 ho,
boon invested In the Road nnd iU equipments,
show ing tlrat tho sum of $318,814 29 has.boon of
necessity taken from the Road earning# for want
of nn adequate capital, instead of being divided
among the Stockholders, a system, which in the
present condition of tilings should cease;
And, whereas, this Board considers that tho said
sura of $2,650,000 at which the investment now
■tands upon ths books of the Company as bolow
the fair cash value of the Road and equipments,
without further additions to them |
And,Whereas, the rapidly incyoasing businesi
of the Road ha# made ft the duty of thia Board,
awt is tho manifest interest of the Company to meet
. °7 - con . lr * clin R f° r 6*500 tuns of rails, to relay
the fiat bar portion of tho track, Involving with
other outlsya an investment or $450,000;
And, whereas, it fo manifestly unjust to the
) reset it Stockholders, if it can be avoided, that
he said expenditure (being for construction nnd
permament improvements, nnd a far different
matter from repairs) should fall on them by tho
ahaorption of the- earnings of their capital, in
stead of dividing the same, more especially ao,
whim tho present investment is worth fully dollar
for dollar, the sum at which it stands charged;
And whcrsAs, it is evident from tho past and
iresent, that the road on its present footing, can
annually earn at least eight per cent on a capital
of $3,000,000, having earned 9 1-2 pet cent on its
’resent capital last year, nnd ns no far tho ratio of
ncrease this year shows still better things;
And whereas,-when its capabilities nroTncrcascd
nnd its condition improved by the new iron, thus
lessening wear nnd tear of machinery, cost of ro
pairs, and expediting business, tho ratio of nett
earnings must be still greater;
Retdceti, therefore, Inst mo nunrtl suggu»n>
tho great advantage of, and. hereby recommend
to the stockholder# ntf increase of the capital stock
of tills Company, whereby tho proposed improve
ment of tho Road, nnd tho new investment in
iron, may be borne without absorbing the earn
ings of the Road or its present rnenns, and with
out foregoing fair and proper dividends of its
profits among present and future stockholders.
Retolved, That tills Board recommend that the
anid inrrease of capital shall bo to a total of
$3,000,000, by the sale of, not less than par, from
timo to time, ns may be needed, of guaranteed 8
per cent, stock to the nmount of $450,1)00.
Retolred, That tiio foregong bo published in tho
Gazettes of this city.
