THE CENTRAL RAILROAD.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Dear Sir-In reply to your notice of the grave
charge which you think have brought against the
Directors OF the Central Railroad, have merely to
refer you to your paper of the 24th January last or
to the last annual report of the President either,
think, contains evidence enough to prove TO any
one milling TO be conriRce the truth of the charge
that have made. In Justice to the Directory feel
prompted to say that the alleged charge refers to
the improper course OF the Company in keeping its
accounts and declaring Notwithstanding more.
AS to your gratuitous assertion that would prefer

expended; but that it has not been properly

These books were submitted to some of the
best merchants in this city, who approved
them entirely "Henrip'' objects also to
the mode of declaring dividends, yet the
Company, for all it has done in this respect,
has the example of, we believe, nearly every
Railroad in the State, as can be shown.
- 1t was stated in this paper few days
since, in paragraph taken from northern
paper, that Mr.. DANIEL, our Charge to Sardi-
MIA, was at last dates at Naples, and that he
probably would not return to Turin, because
of the feelings produced there by the extracts
from letter published in the Examiner. We
are informed on good authority that Mr..
DANIEL has not left TURIN, and that he pur-
