MUND AND YORK RIVER RAILROAD.
Having heard from the President Of the Road, AMI
and aso from one of the Directors that we could not
Get a meeting ms advertised on the 18th of next month";
because we had not given the proper notice. this is to
call upon nil Stockholders to attend on that day, i'll
person or by proxy. Why should the President and
Directors wish to keep US from a meeting! We
have the right and it is our duty to meet. At oar
last meeting selected the West Point terminus, but
the route was not selected. The Directors have,
through their Engineer, offered 10 let ont the work by
the King William route and we are told there is n
much better and shorter route that will cost S,200OOO
less and VIC wish To meet and adopt that route and
thus the Company that sum. And We are told
by the President thnt we cannot get meeting! For
one free TO say, If, i'll the face of these things
the longest and most expensive route is to be aken
and meeting of the Stockholders prevented by the
Directors, they must take the responsibility, and not
be surprised if there be general refusal on the part
Of the Stockholders to pny. II is also said, that the
State proxies will not attend but this cannot be pos

SETTLEMENT OF THE SOULE AFFAIR.

SETTLEMENT OF THE SOULE AFFAIR.
The New York papers of Friday bring us the grn'i
flying intelligence that Louis Napoleon has made AMI
pie and satisfactory atonenent for tho recent indg"
ty to our Minister by resembling the order for his e1
pusion from France, andnvitng him to pass thfoue"
the French territory. The Emperor doubtless o''
closed to Mr.. Muson the reasons OF his conduct anu
discaimed any intention to offer an indgnlty 10 ''S
government. II such il tho case the reparat'oi 10
complete, aud we cannot demand any further coiceS
sion without insulting the pride aud amour p'"p'e Vi
tho French nation. The people OF this couhtf! ~A
nothing more and We trust the President VIII prompt
" signify his acceptance of The apology and his gra
t6caion ut the settlement Of difficulty which threat
eued to interrupt the friendly relations between the
French and American governments.
II is idle and useless to speculate about tho motives
which prompted the Emperor OF the French to ecede
from his untenable position and to revoke his inter-
diet against Mr. Souls. 1t is enough that he has done
co. His apology should soothc the personal resent
ment of Mr. Soule, as it has certainly satisfied the
honor of this country.
w. observe with pleasure that the conduct of Mr..
Musou in the aifuir, is compinencd on all sides Tor
it's spirit and discretion weak or rash diplomat
might easily have aggravated the dispute into an opon
rupture, but Judge Mason is neither weak nor rash
lie has suilicvncy Of energy, and with it he COM
hines a tact and a suavity of manner, which never
commits a bunder or inhames resentment. We are
not surprised to learn, az do from every quarter
that he is popular and efficient representative
of the interests Of his country.
We utterly discrcdit ale statement that Mr.. soul'
is to accept banquet in London, and TO pass through
France in sort of riumphal procession, which Is Il
terminate in an ovation In Paris. No doubt Sanders
Sckles and the restless spirits Of the "iouns Amer
Gu" school, would rejoice to see al American Minister
play the role of denagosue and agtator in the eye
Europe We believe Mr.. SOULS has too much dis
creion and too much regard for the interests Of In
country, to surer himself TO be made the instrumen
of these adventurcrs and seekers of notoriety i'
will not enact the character prescribed for him IN th
programme Of the rcvolutiunsts. He will return t
his post we confidently predict, without parade
theatrical atlectation of personal consequence.

Keep on pitching into-the dinner, as if you

Surround yourself with all your favorite

Maintain the duty of every one taking care
Of number one-and practice what you preach.
Show your independence by wiping your

If any one urges slight objection to your

that this is a free country.
Lastly, pitch into every thing-and don't
