that are sore and painful.is the only article ever brought i
before the public that will do its work perfectly in from j
three to twenty minutes—has been used by thousands and j
pronounced to be the best remedy ever discovered.
This Oil acts on the system with electricity—is of pure |
vegetable preparation. Not the slightest danger ol apply
ing it outwardly or inwardly. It at once gives a porma- •
uent cure—in most cases from ten to twenty minutes.
The best physiologists of Europe have discovered that a!! ,
organic’derangement oi the animal system is the effect of j
an obstruction ot the physico electric fluid in the organ j
diseassed. A skillful appliation of this oil puts in imma- j
diate motiou the nerve fluid, and the cure is at once an- j
complished. No bleeding, no vomiting, purging or blis- |
tering is resorted to.

George Heard was ojlled to the chair, and Milt l * li. Hili,
/.•an if quested to ?rt an secretary.
On motion of C. L. Barbour, Esq , a committee of 7
waa appointed to prepare bne nes9 for the aoiion t f lh
meeting. TKat.committee consisted ol Messrs. C. L
BurUttir, H. C> Stanley, Shirley Sludge.Thoiuas Arnold,
J hn U. Thomas, Dace Lsne, and Thoin/.s ft. Gorman
Alter retiring, the committee, through their chairman.
C. L Harbour, reported the following r solutions:
Resolved, That this meeting feels i‘*elf called upon,
by lt;e immense inter ests staked up<ui the wisdom, integ
rity and firmness oi she iocuuibent National Admin's
(ration, and by existing urgent necessity lor unit ng the
conservative men of the country in its support, to ex
press our unqualifi and approval of its acts *o tar and of
the policy foreshadowed by those acts, and by the insu
u ural address of President Buchanan; and that we cor
dially invite the co operation ol men of all parties and
sections, not imbued with a spirit of factious opposition,
in upholding, by our expressed and active sympathy aud
support, the efforts of the Administration to enforce re
spect to the Consult; ion itself, and the l igh s its makers
saw* tit to guarantee nil classes of our citizens.
Resolved , That we have reason to congratulate the
conutry upon the T.nppy rtsuite of Mr. Bucfianan’s eflbrt
to draw arouud him a cabinet of advisers whose known
ability would give c •: fldeoce to the country, in his inten
tion to administer the government wisely, impartially, and
iu a manner calculated to secure to every section the sub
stantial benefits it oi light expects from the Federal
Union —that the harmony and good feeling manifested
by that cabinet, gives the country every necessary guar
antee tht these objects of its head will be fully and satis
factorily accomplish .and, and beget the confidence of all
conservative men.
Resolved , That this meeting recognises and desires to
express its obligation;. t >ur justly distinguished Beprc
seufaiive of the Fourdi Congressional Disiiict in Con
gress, Hen Ilnfan Warner, i< r his firm and uflfecjive
resistance of th* en -roachtneuts oi lanaiiciem upon the
ccmstitutional tights of ntr fellow-cit z> ns in the Territo
lies ; t *r his unshrinking and withering expose of the
Corruption of Black Republican speculators upon the
public lands in Congress; nd for ids untiring attention
to the interests of It s constituency at ths scat of Gov
ernment. That ali these combine to endear him to us as
a faithful and succe- ‘ui public servant, a pure patriot,
and an honest man—adorning any wdk of life he may
be called upon or choose to pursue.
Resolved, That we will be represented in the approach
ing Gubernatorial Convention by nine del gates—that,
reposing as it does, unliinitedconfidet.ee in the wisdom,
integrity and devo’iou to the principles and organization
of the national Dtin ‘crattc party of the Convention
about to assemble nt M liedgeviile, t( nominate a candi
d tte for Governor, this meeting pledges itself to a vigor
ous and cheerful support of tho man it shall select, and
does not feel ilselt cal ed upon by any precedent unwise
selection ; by any suspected inoowipe ency of that body ;
nor f y any doub’. if is en’ire faithfulness to tin- interests
of the party, to dictate, or even suggest, whom it shall
select, or what c neideraiioii sh *ll influence i: choice.—
That, ot the deleg,* cs this meeting selects .we have only
to request, as we L.-uve them uutrammeled by any dicta
tions from us, so they will free iheinselv* s from any shad
ow of peisonal bias, ,nd resist any attempt on the part
of others, to introduce into ihe Convention the disorgan*
izing and obnoxi us precedents of personal or sectional
considerations ; and, believing that they will do this, we
leave them free to act as their own discriminating judg
ments may suggest, with every confidence in their in
telligence, patriotism and zeal for the sucotss of our party
and principles—that the following gentlemen be appointed
delegates to said Convention, and that they be empower,
ed to fib any vacancy that may occur in their body : Col.
J. M. Flowers, C. L Barbour, James M Russell, John
W. McGehee, Isaac II Lane Thomas E. Gormou, Peter
Heard, William D.uden and Stephen Willie.

Message from Mayor Wood —A Metropolitan Police-
New York, May ‘26 —Last evening .Mayor Wood sent
an important message to the Board of Council men in re
lation to the pending police difficulties. His honor starts
with the proposition that “every political community should
have certain inherent lights of domestic police, indepen
dent of any authority whatever;” and proceed-to argue,
while counties may delegate certain powers to State*, and
States to the general government for federal purposes, the
original chartered piivileges of cities remain iutad The
mayor proceeds w ith an argument that the original
charter of the city of New York gave to the municipality
sole and undivided control over its police system ; that this
power has never been alienated; and that therefore, the
metropolitan police act, passed by the republican legisla
ture of this S'ate at its late session, is unconstitutional and
void. The police power is possessed by the city, he main
tains, not by authority of State legislation, but independent,
or even in defiance of it. He further argues that ihe new
acts creating the metropolitan police, and amending the
city charter, do not repeal the ordinance of the common
council of this city, passed in 1849, establishing the present
police system ; and he therefore maintains that the old
police exists as a municipal institution, even though the
new may have vitality also. As analogous to the case thus
presented, he cites that of the city of London, in which;
by act of Parliament, they have a metropolitan police, con
ducted and superintended by officers appointed by the
Crown, and who act entirely independently of the munici
pal police. The two systems do not clash, but work har
moniously together. In conclusion,the mayor recommends
the immediate passage of an ordinance for the creation of
a day night-watch police establishment, in order to render
clear and unequivocal the assertion by the city ot itsinde'-
pendent right to control and pay its own police.
This is a very bold and important move. As you are
already advised, ourpofice system is in a state of confusion
and disorganization. Whether the mayor's policy of ac
quiescence in the now’ police law', and simultaneous crea
tion of anew and independent police for the city will re
lievo the difficulty, remains to b proved. Certainly the
double system will not be popular with the tax-payers, for
the simple reason that it will be needlessly expensive.

ARRIVAL OF OKSMRAL WALK HR.
Kuthusiavi lc Ufte|)tlon—Cause if Alcar&u*
gua uot AbHudoned.
The telegraphic announcement lhat Gen. Walker and
staff had arrived at the Bahze on board th.-. ftmp re City,
yesterday morning, e eatea considerable excitement among
our citizens. Men who had watched wuh intense?* interest
he career of that gillaut yong American, from the mo
meet he set toot upon the soil of Nicaragua, and saw with
-daim the cordon f tire w hich lau chanet-s ot war and the
beleaguering army o 1 the allied States brought into b: ing,
draw closer and closer around Uivas, breathed easier when
it was known that the champion of Isthmian Republican
ism was safe; and even tho e who disliked what they con
ceived to be hlibasteiism, indulged in Fomenting of the
same feeling.
Tow aids morning the interest became un v rsal, and
she coming of the steamer was eagerly looked lor. Every
body was anxious to see the man who had linked his lame
indisso übly with the history of* Nicaragua, at,d who won
an exalted name in ihe annals ul heroic warfare w hen the
luminous flashes of victory shot up from tiie streets and
plazas of Kivas. M assay a and Granada.
Long belore the expected arrival ot the Empire City at
her mo Tings, the extensive steamship wharf began to wear
a crowded and animated aspect, ‘ihe eager throng has
tening from the city, including many or the companions in
arms (and Walker, and our city authorities, was a goodly
sight on the landinng as the first glimpse of the vessel was
seen several miles down the river. Iu the quick time she
came round the turn and bore up towards the wharf, firing
a gun as she pas. ed opposite Canal street. The salute from
the guns of the Washington Artilieiy then commenced
and 6ent its echoes over the waters, and above the din ot
the busy city, and to the hearts of the hero and his com
rades, welcoming them as brave warriors should be wel
comed, by the thundering and marshal roar of cannon:
Presently she proud vessel,born lightly on the swelling
bosom of the Mississippi, and bearing a nobler freight than
eve: she did before, came slowly towards the wharf, while
thousands of eyes were directed towards her in search ot
the gallant soldier on board. Three cheers were given dor
Walker as the steamship closed into her mooting, and
then the multitude became hu.-hed in eager expectation of
the appearance of tiie General on deck. The crowd was
stilled, but not quiet, for ihe excitement ol the hundreds
who were near the vessel to ou board, it p4*t.sibie, was
intense.
Som* two or thn*e succeeded by using not a little activi
ty in leaping on a ledge ot the vessel and climbing on
board, but the command of the Captain to p event this
mode of getting oa the vessel, compelled the crowd to
await the usual access. It was with considerable difficul
ty the gangway was put in its place, and u ith much grea
ter difficulty the rush to the vessel was opposed successful
ly. In the meanwhile, the cry of “Walker” was heard,
and looking aloft we beheld the unmistakable form of him
whose name has become a ‘household word” in the South
and whose deeds have been the subject of American and
Eurofiean conversation, comparatively speaking, as much
as any of the great captains of modern times.
Again and again, he waved his hat and bowed his head
in acknowledgment ol the thundering aud beany cheers
that greeted him. It was a gallant sight, indeed, to see
that unassuming, mild-looking, light-complexioncd man,
the impersonation ot as glorious and daring chivalry as
these fatter days of ours have seen, witlr head uncovered
and doubtless a heart moved to its imnoM core, responding,
not by words but by the eloquent language ot silence and
the soul left looks of proud consciousness, to the enthusi
asm his presence excited. He of the “blue gray eye,” the
man of destiny, looked on the excited crowd with emo
tions, perhaps, as loity as ever filled his brave and uncon
quered heart
fie had ouly proceeded a few paces from the gangway
towards the carriage in waiting, which was thirty or forty
yardsoir, when cries were heard to raise him, which was
quickly done. On the shoulders of two gentlemen who
were beside him, he was born tow ards the carriage, amid
the loud cheers of the assembled thousands. He was at
length got to ihe vehicle ana driven to the St. Charles Ho
tel, accompanied by Col. Fisher, Lieut. Col. Jaques, and
others.
Had he come to our city as the victorious ruler of the
fair land of Centi a I America, instead of its baffled con
queror—but for a time—so sure as the stars shine out in the
heavens to night, the feelings of those who were present
could not have been more inspiring or grateful. We have
no doubt had he arrived, as we trust he will one day, in
the full flush of power, we should have seen more loud
mouthed congratulations and alter dinner manifestations,
wonderfully expiessive of-—mean sycophancy. As it was,
the intense feelings of admiration-and affection showered
on him with ihe most profuse liberality; the r outspoken and
rapturous words ot * eieome and manifestations of person
al regard could only have beea given to one who had se
cured and earned a place in the hearts ot those who
thronged around him. When the gangway was got ready
and Walker came towards the landing, the rush to get
near him was tremendous. The scene was almost equal
m enthusiasm and love to that celebrated event, of which
every one ban a vivid remembrance, either by ihv aid ot
pe ior pencil—the return ot Napoleon Bonaparte from
h.lba—when soldier* and officers crowded arouud him
We were close by when lie left the staging, but it was an
utter impossibility to get near. We could almost imagine
uh he disappeared in the rushing ana apparently half crazy
crowd that he Was appropriated bodily by a hundred peo !
pie, each of whom took an much oi him as he could carry
aw ay, and treasured, as a devotee does a relic.
In due time he arrived at th** it Charles Hotel, where
an immense crowd was in waiting* and who hailed him
with greatenthusia in. He was brought to tho balcony,
from whence he addressed the people in a short and solder
like speech, expressing the i.dense gratification he felt at
witnes.-ing tiie sympathy shown) him, and of his pride in
knowing that the good will of the Ame ican people was
with him. It gave assurance that the cause of Nicaragua
would yet he triumphant.
Altera short inteival,he was again obliged to come out
and address the ci owj, which he did from ihe table of the
rotunda of the Hotel. In his calm earnest manner, and
with manly eloquence, he said it was a proud consolation,
after months and years of trial, to experience the approba j
lion that was given to the cause ho advocated. It was a
triumph greater than arms Could ever win. With such
manifestations, it was impossible that thecatu-e ot Nicara
gua could fail, no matter who were its enemies; no matter
how much tiiey f labored; no matter how much they
willed. The enemy, lie said, would yvt be put beneath our j
feet.
Our readers will see, by the voluminous correspondence
published in these columns, that on the first of May, Gen.
Walker, with a force of three hundred men,capitulated to
Capt. Davis, of the United States sloop-of-war St. Mary's
with the consent ol the Allied aitnies. The garrison at
(vivas was reduced to two days’ provisions, alter having
endured a seige of three month?, Gen. Walker, with 16 j
ot his officers, were allowed to march out of Kivas wiih
their side arms, horse pistols, horse** and personal baggage,
under th? protection of the United States fLp, to San Juan j
del Stir, from whence they were to ‘>e conveyed to Pana j
ma, while the troops under his command were al>o to be
transported safely to the same place, under the protection
and control of the commander ot the St. Mary’s. The
latter are expected by the next steamer.
We are far from believing that all is lost in Nicaragua.
The ripening fruit must fall into our lap. ‘fhe inferior race
mu*-t give place to Ghe stronger; the Hispano- American
must succumb sooner or later to the Anglo American—
The hand of Destiny has blazed the wa\ for American Re
publicanism in all Central America. The nationality of
the rifle will yet be established in the mountain passes and
in the green valleys of Nicaragua. The volcanic fire of
American patriotism and heroism only slumbers; it will yet
burst forth and illumine the country from St. George to
Leon. Be of good cheer— •
“The world rollsfrei doin’s radiant way,
Aud ripen* with her sorrow;
Keep heart! who bear the cross to-day,
Will wear tho crown to-morrow.”

The War in Peru.
Cali.a>, April 26.—The revolutionary chief Vivanco,
with tvvosieamers and 500 men, attacked Callao the 20th
April, and iu a street fight was totally defeated, and a
large part of his force taken priconers. Vivaueo regain
ed his steamer, Gen. PLzia, of the Government army,
Ge*r. Lopesa and Col. Rodriguez, of tho insurgent army,
were killed, aud two other Generals of the insurgent
army were taken prisoners. Vjvanco’s steamer escaped
subsequently, and during the funeral obsequies of Gtn.
Plazia, a report that Vivaneo’s troops had again landed
created great excitement, during which Eaton, Clerk to
the American Consul, was shot. All business was bus
pended.
Annexation in Liberia.
President Benson, of Liberia, in his message to the
txtra session of the Legislature of April 6, informs that
body that, in conformity with the act of the Legislature
* nliJed ‘ an act for the relief ol the State of Maryland,
in Liberia,” approved the 7th of February, 1857, he
despatched a force of 115 men, under command of Mej.
General Roberts, and that he also negotiated a loan for
the hem fit of tiie State of $5,000, to b refunded in an
nual instalments of SSOO, at 6 per cent, interest.—
Among ihe documents accompanying the message is a
copy of the treaty of friendship, offensive and defensive,
concluded February 19 between the Republic of Liberia
and the Slate of Maryland, in Liberia, ratified by the
senate on the 20th February, and copies of the requisite
bonds conditioned for the payment to the Republic of the
sum of $20,600, in aunual instalments of $3,000, and
pledging the revenue and the sources of revenue of the
State of Maryland, in Liberia, thereto.
In reference to the difficulties between the State of
Liberia and the native tribes, the* message says “that the
necessity for offensive and defensive operations by the
forces of the Republic was suoerseded by the conclusion
of a treaty of peace, friendship, and indemnification be
tween the allies ami the 12 hostile tribes, on terms mu*
tually satisfactory and honorable.”
The principal busiuess submitted to the consideration
of the extra session of the Legislature, was a formal ap
plication on the part of the State of Maryland to be ad
mitted into the R public as the “county of Cape Pal
mas.” The application states that the revenue of the
Slate arising from imports is SI,BOO per annum, and ihe
liabilities amount to $3,000, and the assets, including
public buildings find bills payable, to SIO,OOO. The num
ber of American inhabitants in the State is 900, and the
aboriginal population is estimated at 60,000. The new
county will be entitled to two senators and three mem
bers in the lower branch of the legislature.
The measure is strongly urged by the Governor, and
is no doubt law’ nt this t:nie.— Wash. Union.
New England Aid Societies.
The annual meeting of th ; s Society was held in Bos

follows ;
The report of the Directors exhibits favorable results
in cons qiunce of the great rise of land in Kansan.—
Notwithstanding the losses of last year by the destruc
tion of the Free State J/otel iu Lawrence, the investment
will probably be returned to the stookhokfirs with per
haps a considerable advance. The proepects of the tri
umph of Free Stale principles in Kansas are considered
flattering. The payment ol damages for the destruction
of the Free Slate Hotel is to be pressed on Congress, aod
ukimale success is considered certain.

Georgia Military Institute.
The Georgian and Democrat , at Marietta, of 28ih
Mav, says:
“We understand that thirty of the Cadets of the G. M.
Institute have been expelled for going into G. N. ftldred’s
Circus Show, which has been exibiting here for the last
two days. Tho crime, as we understand, was in signing
a written pledge, (which was a plain violation of the
rules), to go to the Circus, whether the Superintendent
would allow them or not
“We learn that five of them have left for their homes--
thirteen have recanted, and intend trying to reinstate them
selves—the others are to leave in a few day 9.
“We are truly sorry that a Circus should be tho cause
of such n material injury to our institute, and hope, if con
sistent with the regulations of the Institute, that the matter
may yet be ail amicably and satisfactorily adjusted.”
Murder of Pratt 9 the Mormon Elder. —A telegraphic
despatch from Sr. Louis announces that Pratt, the Mormon
Elder, was killed on the 14th, near Van Buren, Ark., by
Hector .Mann, whose, wife Pratt had seduced. The name
of the avenger is probably Hector li. McLean, whose wife
Pratt ran off with from New Orleans, and who returned
from California to recover his children, ‘ihe following i
a letter from McLean, after he had succeeded iu capturing
Pratt:
Fort Gibbon, Cherokee Nation, May 7.
I have just arrived from a sore tramp, on which I suc
ceeded in corning up with Eleanor and the children, and
have taken the children from her hy force, i have placed
Eleanor in charge of the U. $. Marshal, and have suc
ceeded abo in arresting Pratt, who is now in the guard
house of the fort. The U. S. Marshal will start wjth his
prisoner for Van Buren to-morrow, and I will, by a differ
ent route, in company of Captain tahil and lady, leave with
tin* children tor ihe same place. 1 arrested Pratt and ft. J.
on a charge of larceny—in stealing the clothing on the
children when kidnapped—in value eight or ten dollars.
This is the ouly way I could reach tnem in these Terri
tories. When I fail before the United States Commission
ers at Van Buren, I mean to have Pratt arrested for having
fl and from justice from St. Louis, Mo., and get a requisition
from the Governor of Missouri for him.

Pretty State of Affairs in New York —We find the fol
lowing card in the New York Courier and Enquirer of
the 2lhh.. * more impressive picture than this is calcu
lated to impress on the mind of the stale of New’ York, no
one need desire:
The District Attorney feels it due to the commercial
community, to say, from recent disclosure* made to him hy
an arrested defendant, which he regards reliable, but not of
suen a legal character as yet to authorize steps ol prevention)
that attempts of an organized nature, encouraged ly police
insubordination, will le soon made to commit burglaries
upon stores having valuable property within them. He
tnerefore suggests that the private watch around store? and
warehouses should be strengthened ; if possible lights be
kept burning inside with openings in shutters, so as to al
low the watch to make inspection, and that porters or
clerks be made keepers at night. Especially should all
stores be carefully watched and vi.-ited throughout Sun
days, and the roofs and cellars of houses adjoining to stores
be examined.
The Commission Merchants of Savannah. —A writer
in the Albany Patriot, in commenting on the recent ad
vance to 24 per cent, for selling cotton in Savannsh, urges
the farmers to protect against sending their cotton to mar
ket. He says he can do better to tend his cotton to Au
gusta, that it is a better market than Savannah, and the dif
ference in the charge of the Savannah sellers, amounting
to about $1.25 per bale, over those of Augusta, where 25
cents is the charge, will pay the expense of shipping from
Southwes'ern Georgia to this place

charged and took the swivel ai.jl fired upon the rioters.
Tho fire was returned, and when the m b dispersed it

Dreadful Biot in Washington City.
Washington Juno I.—The inuncipal elections took
plaoe here to day* In the early forenoon, there was
much rioting in the 2nd, 4lh and 7th wards. A large
number of Baltimore rowdies, consisting af Plug (Jgliea
and a number ol other organizations, were known to
have arrived in the early tiain, whose presence insti
gated the more disorderly of our own citizeus, and fight
ing took place in each of these wards. P.stole, Ifni ves
aud clubs were used with deadly effect. Several per
sons were seriously wounded. The row'dies procured a
swivel, took it to the 4th ward polls, and threatened
to open fire if a body of foreigners w'ere allowed to vote.
Meantime the Mayor finding the civil force insufficient
to preserve the peace, requested the President of the
United States to order the Marines from the Barracks.
The order was issued, and lit) Marines were forthwith
matched with fixed bayonets to the spot. The row
dies availed them with the vilest abuse and epithets.
When the swivel was about to be fired into the ranks
of the Marines, they charged and took the swivel.
The crowd then fired on the Marines from the side pud
front, and one of the Marines fell. Tho- order was
now giveu and two i laloors fired into the crowd,
sweeping seventh street and the market house.
The scene pasted all description. After the first discharge
the rioters continued to shoot from the corners and stalls,
and several were killed. Many were wounded, but it ia
believed that more met death by pistol fchots than from ihe
Murines. The city is now’ quiet, but another demonstration
is leared to-night.
[second distatch.J
Washington, June I—9 o’clock, P. M.—lt had been
pre-arranged that a large reinforcement of the rioters was
to leave Baliimore in the 7 o’clock train ; but hearing that
their friends were returning, they desisted. In the mean
time, the Marines had been drawn up at the depot, prepared
to receive them.
The Marinos having been on duty the entire day, the
Secretary of War ordered tiio Light Artillery from Fort
McHenry to Washington, and they are expected to arrive
here before ten o’clock.
The rioters have obtained another cannon, and threaten
the distinction ol the houses of the .Mayor and Captain Ty
ler, of the Marines. Their families and the valuables con
tained in the bouses, have been removed and placed ia
safety.
A heavy shower is falling now, and everything Is com
paratively quiet.
Ex-Consul Jenkins.
Washington, May 28 —Ex-Consul Jenkins, arrested
a fw days siucu on charge of Piracy, was brought into
Court to day. The U. S. District Attorney stated lhat
the Government did not wish to hold him to trial, as the
State Department did not sanction the preliminary pro
ceedings against him.
New Granada, —Tho rumor that New Granada had
ceded the Islands in the Bay of Panama to England,
according to newspaper correspondents, is not credited
in official circles in Washington City.
Commissioner Morse was instructed by the govern
ment of the United States, to purchase these Islands,
for the purpose of having a naval depot located on ono
of them, but was unsuccessful in hie negotiations.
Corn and Cotton. —The New Orleans Crescent of
the 30th May, says ; The receipts at this port yester
day were 116 bales. The corresponding day last year
they were 4820 bales.
We learn.that all the corn in market has been pur
chase and for a rise. In fact there has been several op
erations during the past two months in hay, oats and
articles of breadstuff*, provender and provisions gen
erally. Well, we suppose it is all right. Each item,
one and ell, are lug it mat© objects of commerce, and if
speculators desire to make consumers pay high prices,
■ here ought to be a co* responding increase in the returns
o! industry and occupations. There is one thing, coal
and wood at this moment would not pay, and we shall
undoubtedly in a few weeks have an abundance of
green food, but that will not answer for distant markets,
and planters may have to pay one dollar and fifty cents
to one dollar Yid seventy five cents per bushel for corn
in the market before many d)S. There is an enors
m ?us demand for Alabama, Florida and Texas ; also
for some sections of our own State, and higher prices
than for years past are inevitable. Under the present

The Railroad Meeting in Conecuh , Florida. —The
Railroad meeting held at Sparta on the 11th inst., for
many causes, was not so largely attended as it was an
ticipated. However, the true spirit for making their

to this city, was sufficiently manifested on the occasion,
a? there were subscribed at tiro meeting, by th© few*
persons present, the sum of SB,OOO, which in addition
to some SS,OOO more subscribed since last summer, rais
es the subscription to over $16,000. The amount re
quired for the construction of the road through Conecuh
County (that is to say grading and erbss-neing) is es
timated at $75,000; and there is no doubt that the
whole amount will be promptly’ subscribed, when it is
Consider* and that the most prominent citizens and stron
geat railroad men were prevented from attending the
meeting, aud that another meeting is to be held on the
4th July m xi, at which time the most wealthy and
principal meu of the Country are expected to be pres-
cut. Meanwhile Mr. Andrew Jay will continue to
collect subscriptions until the next meeting, at which
