A meeting of the stockholders of the New York
and New Haven Railroad Company will be held at
New Haven tomorrow, Tuesday to take into con-
sderation the acts recently passed by the Legisla-
ture of Connecticut relative to the overissue of
stock. Holders of that stock do not attach the
slightest importance to this meeting, and it is to
them matter Of indifference whether the company
accept the stock or not A few months since holders
were in favor Of compromise, and would have
compromised upon most favorable terms, but they
have had several decisions since in our courts, and
ultimately they will recover every cent of their
Claims. The new stock will, in the end be placed
on par with the old, and it will all share alike in
the future earnings, whatever they may be. The
stockholders can arrest the expense going in lti
cation, not, just as they pease-there can be but
one result. The most important matter for all par
ties interested Just to turn their attention to- is
the company's earnings. Under the present manage

while the expenses are monthly increasing. One

present embarrassnents. The road is now going to

April, 1855.
The undersigned citizens Of Boonsborough and
vicinity, having heard that a charge of drunken
ness had been circulated against Elder WILLIAM
WOODS, Of the Baptist Church, whilst engaged IN
his ministerial labors at this place, take this pub
lie method of denouncing the charge as false in
principal and detail
Elder Woods has labored in our community for
the last two or three years, with great accept
ance 10 the Baptist church at this place. He has
walked as ga holy MAJ Of God" ''avoiding even
the appearance of evil,'' and we have looked upon
him as an eminently good man.
Many of US differ with Mr.. Woods in our re-
ligious views, and are connected with other de-
nominations of Christians, and some of us are not
professors of religion, but we would be suffering
base SANDER to be circulated to the prejudice of
good man, and thereby destroy his usefulness,
did we not take this method OF publicly deny
ing the charge.
Respectfully. &C..

lNDIANAPoLIs SPEcIE PAY1YG BANKs.-
In response TO the requStion of the Auditor
on the specie paying Free Banks to increase
their securities sin such manner that the
circulating notes shall always he secure in
full by such securities" the following banks
have deposited additional stocks with the
Auditor Of State, which places them in such
g condition as to make their circulation good
beyond all contingencies. viz: Fayette Co.
Bank, Connersville; Cambridge City Bank;
Bank OF Rockville; Salem Bank, Salem;
Bank of Warsaw; Kentucky Stock Bank,
Columbus; Southern Bank Of Indiana, Terre
Haute.
The securities of many ofthe other specie
paying banks were already deemed sufii-
cient, and all the others have signifed their
intention TO comply with the requirements
OF the Auditor Immediately.
The confidence already inspired in the
ability Of the specie paying Free Banks Of
the State TO sustain themselves and do a
regular and successful business, is NANTES
ted by the fact that their notes are received
on deposit and for all other banking purpo.
ses by all the banks in Chicago Ind JoIr.

LEGISLATION IN NEBRAsKA.-The fol-
lowing is summary of the acts Of the Ne.

They have enacted general system Of
laws, chiefly borrowed from Iowa; have pro.
vided for an efficient organization Of coun.
tics; have passed good school law provi.
ding for free schools for all upon n liberia
basis; have passed stringent prohibitory
liquor law; chartered three Universities
incorporated Medical Society; and last
but not least, have provided for taking ;
census the ensuing fall, by the Marshal, from
which new apportionment of Representa-
tives is TO be made by the Governor. No
body surely, can justly accuse them ofidIe,
ness;the statutes enacted will fill two bulky

Bloody Record.

Bloody Records. Human life is sacrificed
in the broad blaze Of day, wholesale and
retail, to use commercial phrase, but we
rarely hear of the perpetrators being bro't
to justice. Mobs are as common as polit-
ical meetings in election times, and the civ
il law seems powerless for good. Whittier

community in this great country "crushed
out"--dead? 1t is time for law and order

CAMELs ARE CoMING.--lt will be recol-
lected that by recent act Of Congress GER
tain amount was appropriated TO the Secre-
tary OF War to try the experiment OF intro
ducrg cumels on this continent as beasts oil
burden and for military purposes. As the
Navy Department have occasion to send
stores to our squadron in the Mediterra-
mean, the storeship Supply, now at the New
York yard, has been selected for this pur-
pose, and on her return voyage will bring
the camels. This vessel will be comman-
ded by Lieut.. David d. Porter, an officer oil
the Quarlermaster' department of the ar
my, to purchase the camels, and on her
homeward voyage will bring them to the
United States. The vessel will be prepared
with all despatch for sea.
There is no doubt that the experiment Of
introducing catnels as beasts Of burden, and
for military purposes, in the southwestern
part of the country, will prove entirely sue.
cessful. Their great endurance, ability tc
carry large burdens, and the length Of time
tina, they are enabled TO exist without water
will render them valuable adjunct to the
army in the section Of country for which
they are intended.

protesting to be y preacher of the Christian

10 denounce slavery and shareholders, and

lex Douglas. This was rather more than
the citizens of Livingston could stand, and
he was invited 10 close. The next day a
