company, says the Montgomery AdcerttSer,
held at the company's office, in Mobile, on

therefore, that large portion of the work
in that State and Alabama will be put un-
der contract during the coming winter.
1t is understood that within fortnight a
commencement will be made in laying down
the iron at the Mobile end of the road. All

From the Philadelphia Enquirer, Sept. II.

From the Philadelphia Enquirer, Sept. IL.
We have report from Lancaster to the eff
feet, that serious riot occurred yesterday, at
Christiana, about fifteen miles from the for
mer place, in consequence of the arrest of
an alleged fugitive slave. Two men are re-
ported to have been killed. One of the par
ty is said to be an officer from Philadelphia.
Since the above was written, We have the
following additional particulars, through the
politencss of Mr.. Paul Hamilton, Conductor
of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
1t appears that Mr.. Gorsuch, the owner Of
two fugitive slaves from Baltimore county,
accompanied by his two sons, the Deputy U.
S. Marshal, from Baltimore, two u. S. Off
GERS from this city, proceeded on Wednesday
evening, to Christiana, about q miles this
side of Lancaster, for the purpose of arrest
ing the fugitives Aftera consultation be-
tween the officers, it was deemed inexpedien
to make the arrest until yesterday morning
From the best reports, we learn that the col
ored population in the vicinity, having beer
informed Of the nature of the visit of the Of
fcers to Christiana, held meeting, and ask
/ ed the opinion of several leading abolitionist
Jas to what course they should pursue. Tn
answer was, as one. of the most. current re
ports states, that they should stand thei
ground, Accordingly, about eighty negroe
assembled, with guns, &c, and. secreted them
selves IN the neighboring woods and cornfield
The signal Of attack on the officers was th
i blowing Of 4 horn. When the officers cam
i upon the party, they were surrounded On q
sides, and adeadly fire poured upon them 3

General Lopez,s Family &c.


The New York SIN, in the course of its
Cuba accounts, gives some Interesting facts
in connection with the family of Lopez. His
brother-in law, the Count Of Pogosdulccs, a
nobleman Of great wealth and high charac-
ter; Madame Ffias, widow Of nobleman
of great wealth, his sister-in law, and other
near relatives, residing in Havana, left that
city just previous to theexecution, unwilling
to be near on such an occasion. Lopez was

RAILRoADs.-Ihe receipts of the Erie
Railroad for August are unexpectedly large
larger even than estimates Of the directors
The gain over the receipts Of July is over
S35 900, or more then 81 200 per day The
figures are: Passengers and mail, Sl53,79
I05; freight, $40, III 08; total, 1868, 9G4-
u; same month in 1850, 1929, 206 II
Increase $134, 1853. Atthis rate the receipts
of the year would be nearly So, 200, 600
Deducting fifty per cent for expences and
81 100000 for interest, dividend of $500,
600 is left, equal to ten per cent, on six
millions of stock Does not this cheer the
hearts Of those Of our Southern money men
who still hold from railroads, as if they were
afraid the roads would bite them? Let them,
again, look at the example of Louisville.
She has voted to issue bonds upon the credit
of the taxas to be collected, to the extent of
81 100000 to aid the Nashville, Tennessee
and Indiana railroad From the Northern,
the Middle and some of the Western States
we continually hear of new roads being
projected, under contract progressing or
completed. Public and moneyed men there
need no convention to arouse even an inter-
est in such subjects. 1t is only when roads
are completed and profitable returns are made
that we hear of them at length.
PADoY's BooTs.-A green sprig from
the Emerald Isle entered a boot and shoe
shop to purchase himself pair of "brogans "
After overhauling his stock-in-trade, without
being able to suit his customer, the shop
keeper limited that he would make him pair
to order. The price was named, Irishmaa

THE FIRE ANNIH1LATOR.-W make the
following summary of what is said of this
wonderful invention. Phillips Fire An
nihilator was invented in England. 1t is a
small apparatus, portable by one man, and
cost not more than $50, and is capable of
extinguishing fire of great extent instanta-
neously. This is done by the production
of a gas that is death on fires, but perfectly
Iinnocuous to human life, as was demonstrated
by the inventor placing the hoes az his mouth
and inedibiag drdyht Of the gas This
innocuous property of the gas enables Que to
walk fearlessly into the middle Of fire and
distinguish it. The machines are being In
troduced into all the public and private
residence Of England, and Lord Brougham
has. recently introduced bill into Parlia.
ment requiring every Government emigrant
vessel to be supplied with one or more of.the
Fire Annihiators. At the Queens Palace
tof Windsor a fire was. recently extinguished
which would otherwise have consumed pro.
perry worth j million Of dollars.

TRY which has purchased the American pa.
