MINE HILL AND scH. HAVEN n. r. COM
PANY.

We have received the Goth Annual Report
OF this Company, and CLEAN from it the fol-
lowing:
| The tonnage Of the Road for ls4S, was
6O9, $50 O5 tons, being an increase over the
former year of 25,739 tons.
The amount received for tolls and motive
power was Sl44,l23 10 cts.
The whole tonnage of the road from the
opening, has been, 4,345, 199 Is tons.
The Company have Locomotives OF the
larger class for transporting Coal, and small
engine for Passenger Tran,-which runs
daily between Schuylkill Haven, Minersvile
and fremont,
The Company are making the necessary
arrangements to charge portion of the oca-
ton of The Road SO as to avoid the short and
dangerous curves which exist at present.
Some of the grades have also been lessened,
and rendered more uniiorm
The Company decline accepting at present,
the law passed at last session, authorizing
them 10 increase their capital and extend the
road from Coal Castle, 10 the town of Shamo-
kin; because the rates 10 be charged for tolls
and motive power, TO which they are limited
in said bill, their present experience satisfies
them, is not sufficient to authorize the en-
penditure-and also, because the state of the
money market is such, that the necessary
sum required, (about 3 10o,000) canEo, be
raised, and under 10 circumstances could 1t
be obtained under the provisions of the act in
question.
The Company, however, caused survey
of the route TO Sham0kin TO be made during
last wear, by Solomon w. Roberts, ESD
This Report is accompanied by map of the
route, and is appended to the Report of The
Mine Hill and SchuylkiIl Haven Company,
From this Report, we make The following
extract:
GThe distance from the present terminus
of your road to the Gap at Ashland, is 49,
miles by onr route, aud estimate the cost of
the road, for This distance, completed with a
double track of heavy edge rails, ard with
he requisite machinery at The inclined planes,
n, $500 900. This includes the crossing of
that formidable barrier, the Broad Mountain:
and would advan,aeeously open the Mahonoy
Coal Field al Ashland,
From the point of commencement near
Coal Castle, 10 Shamokn, the distance is 20
4-lO miles, and estimate the cost OF compile
ting that connection at Si,oAo,000. The dis
tance from Sunbury to Philadelphia, by this
route, will be li4 miles,
Considering the great importance OF the
line, think that il should be graded and
bridged for double track but, by laying
down a single track for part of the distance
in the first instance, a reduction may be made
in the first outlay, of $4,000 for each mile OF
double track omitted To complete, ready
for use, COOL donble track connection be-
tween Coal Castle and both Shamokin and
Ashland, may fairly be estimated at eleven
hundred thousand dollars"
The engineer siales that the adoption ol
the planes would be the best plan at pre-
sent, for the mere accommodations OF the
Coal Trade and other traffic Of The Coal Re-
gion--bu, as soon as the road should be ex-
tended ncv,h and wee. fora general thorough.

OUR SENATOR AND THE ERIE AND OHIO
RAIL ROAD.

RAIL NoAB.
It is with feelings of regret and mortif-
cation that we are obliged to referto the
course of Robert M. Frick, our Senator, in
relation to this important improvement.
Our readers will recollect, that in opposing
the election of Mr.. Frick, we stated that
there were important improvements, in
which we were interested, that required
the services of capable and experienced
Senator. We referred at the time to the
Railroad from this place to Harrisburg TO
connect with the road from that place to
York, now in progress, which would con-
meet us with Baltimore by Railroad. This
once accomplished, the railroad to Pottsvile
would soon follow. After which the great
Railroad project from this place TO Erie
would not long slumber. Although we
were aware that Mr.. Frick could not aid
lis in accomplishing these important mea-
sures, we did not expect that he would di-
rectly oppose them, by lending himself to
that huge corporation, the mi5-called Cen
trail Rail Road, that has been brought into
existence to ruin our main line of canal,
and thus increase the STATE taxes of our
already over burdened citizens. This cor
poration and its friends, having refused to
secure the immense trade of the lakes, by a
road to Erie, have got up bill to repeal a
law, authorising the people OF Erie TO make
a road Westward into Chic; and in favor
of this wicked and most unrighteous bill,
Mr.. Frick has voted, in opposition to nine
teen-twentieths of his constituents, at least
from Northumberland County. But proba-
bly, Mr.. Frick does not consider himself a
Representative for this county. They
know that Erie is probably the most impor-
tant harbor on the Lake, and that il is enti-
tied by every sense of justice to an outlet for
its trade. Philadelphia, though unwilling
to secure this great trade herself, is deter
mined that no one else shall, and insists on
the repeal of this bill, because New York
will be benefited. Can any thing be more
unjust. The Senator from Erie, Mr.. Pail
saws they are determined to make the road,
repeal or no repeal, and that one of its citi-
gems, worth two and half millions, will
devote nearly the whole Of his means to the
work. Let it be done, and Philadelphia
will find that after wasting her energies in
the Central Road, she must make the Sun
bury and Erie road in selt-defence. Hun
dreds Of patriotic Wings who voted with
reluctance for Robert M. Frick, on the
grounds of electing aU.. S. Senator, will
regret that they aided inelecting Senator
TO misrepfesent us.

Charleston Courier draws a variety Of com
parisons as TO the numbers relative streng h,
losses, g., Of the opposing parties in the bat
ties of the Mexican War. If we compare the
loss with the numbers engaged in the dif-

thus:
In the battle of Molina del Rey,
Worih's loss was for every a
Taylor's loss at Bnena Vista
Scoti's loss at Cerro Gordo 20
I" at Cherubusco & Contreras 8
in battles Sept l2, 49,, RAJ 7
AT those of palo Alto, Resaca
and Monterey, about 10

rison Of the American with the Mexican
force:
