wilmington & Weldon Railroad Company.
The Report of the President and Directors the En-
eneer and Superintendent and the Auditing Com
mttee is before US. We have to-day only time to
give very few items. From the repor. of the Au-
dtng Committee, we learn that the receipts of the
Road have been SAL 1894 06; the expenditures, in
Guiding interest and exchange, $328,534 3D. showing
a nett profit of 1889 90. From various obvious
reasons, the extraordinary expenses of the Company
this year h~ye been large. Passenger sheds, etc,
have been built at various points, and other additions
TO the permanent property of the Company. The
through travel has slightly fallen off this, as we
believe has been the all other roads, owing
to the depression of business, but the local business
has increased. The report of the Superintendent
represents the property of the Company as being in
a sound and effective condition. So far as we can
Judge the affairs and prospects of the Road pros
porous and favorable
The meeting of Stockholders organized this NOR
ming in the Court House H. A. Harris, Esq, of
Warren county, in the Chair; Messrs. Hill OF Hall
fax, and Griswold of Wayne Secretaries. The Sec
retaries, assisted By Messrs. VIM. A. Wright and
James S. Green of Wilmington, were appointed a
committee to verify proxies. This, with reading of
the reports will occupy all the morning session.
There is a majority of stock represented. We pre-
sumo that there will be no afternoon session for
business, as Mr.. Cowan's Grafton will be delivered in
the Masonic Hall at o'clock.-Daily JouGnal 9Th.
THE ELEcTIoNs-The scattering returns from
New York indicate the of the Know No
things, though nothing is known with sufficient def
niteness TO base any final conclusions upon. The
election passed off quietly. The Know Nothings
carried the city of New York by small majority,
probably. So far as received, the returns from
Massachusetts indicate the success of Gardner the
Know Nothing candidate for Governor who leads
Rockwell, Fusonist next, and Beach, Democrat,
close up to him Valley, Old Line Wing, is away
down out Of sight.
Louisiana and Mississippi vote two days, consequent
ly little definite can be heard from them. The Know
Nothings have carried New Orleans Upon the
whole, confused and unsatisfactory are the des-
patches, that we can make nothing out of them
The divisions of the Democratic party leave little
hope for New York; Massachusetts, we suppose, is
joined TO her idols though not quite so ferociously,
but still nothing is to be expected from her, We
shall be disappointed by defeat in Louisiana or Mis-
sssipp. New Orleans, with its extremely mixed
and very excitable population may have gone for
from the planters of the State, among whom the feel
ing of State Rights and Southern Rights is strong
There has been some rioting, and a man or two
killed, which is to be regretted
THE News BY THE ARAGo.-Although four days
later than the advices brought by the Baltic, find
little of interest in the Arago's news. Money goes
up and cotton goes down. Breadstuffs are firm, but
unchanged in price, and no great disposition to ope
rate Rosin is dull at IS I'd per cwt. The effects o.
the news upon the New York naval store market ha.
not been favourable.
The news we confess puzzles us much, ou
Geography is at fault, points come into notice mo-
laid down in any map, and the majority of the maps
published are unreliable, mainly catch-pennies, got
ten up for the occasion. The Peninsula of Sendre
upon which the allies are said to have landed thirty
thousand men, we cannot find in map or gazetteer
We suppose that it lies not far from the spit of Kin
burn or Kinbourn the mouth of the estuary
formed by the rivers Kneiper and Bong, and tina
the troops intended to operate against Nicolef o
Cherson Have the allies force enough to operate
actively in the Crimea and send off so large detach
ments do they really contemplate any active
ments on the Peninsula before the spring opens
A part of the panic in France and England is ere
ated by the impression that Russian agents are ope
rating on the money market. Four millions of thu
specie withdrawn from the Bank of England hal
been traced as far as Vienna 1t is suspected tina
Austria and Prussia are somehow implicated in thi
Russian movement, which is against the course o
the exchanges and therefore not commercial trans
action. These SpeCulations may or may not be cor
rect. If it be so that Russia has been able to d.
this, it has certainly been master-stroke, paraiy
ling her adVersares more than would the adverse re
suit of battle
0t- The Herald is again mistaken in regard to tn
committee of twenty-one to be appointed in pursa
ance OF resolution of the meeting held at the COur
House last week. The names of the gentlemen t
compose that committee have not been publicly an
nounced simply because the appointments have no
yet been made, not because of any desire to work il
the dark. Mr.. Nixon, the chairman of the meeting
has, we presume, been occupied by business durin
the whole of the week. The committee will, n
doubt be announced at the adjourned meeting TO b
held tomorrow evening, when trust there will b.
a full attendance. That the said K. N. committee o
forty leaked out was, take it, the misfortune no
the fault OF the agent going round with the list
didn't intend 10 60 to the wrong men, but he did, NJ
one asking or soliciting any information on the sub
ject. The Herald says that it has been changed int
ffty.-Daily Journal 9Th inst
