]. Tbbets. We are glad to notice that MI JONI 'a''
lin was reelected President Of the Company
We have before alluded TO the enterprise when
has been taken up by some OF our citizens Vi n'iNi
the coal of the Chrque lagoon. The annexed extract
from The Panama Herald of the 4th ins'' CONFIRMS
the views entertained by the Chirque Company OF the
agricultural value of that Province:
We have often spoken very highly in favor OF the
beauties and resources the Province of Chiqu and
we now give, with much pleasure an extract lioni q
letter Just received from an old anu expe19nceu a'
eler who is at present soourning there ne say
dwell now for few words about the country OF
Cbirioui As YOU are aware, have been over d con-
siderable part of South America but must say tase
in all my rambles have never seen country 50 l..H
a. r, CARDS ts SOIL and on the whole, so Truly oedu'
ful. a. is the Province of Chirqui;
What pity il is that the railroad could NOT nave
heen opered across the Isthmus about the como Doce
These sayannas are worth the mines OF Cerro fasGo
for the cultivation Of cotton and coffee. GOOD Goa
what a country might be made of this win tnree

~...;.l,.ardro the serious distractions lnterpOSIng
from the FREQUENT SHOWS freighting business Is now
successfully carried on BY railroad between Baltimore
ard Columbus Dayton, Indianapolis and cincinnati
THE Little Miami Road from Cincinnati to Column
bus and the Cincinnati, Wilmington ana IanesvlLls
Road from Cincinnati to GAINESVILLE, are both engaged
in carving freight from Cincinnati 10 the Central ONO
Railroad which is now doing larger and more regu-
lar freichtng bushes than il has heretofore DONE
The Cincinnati Wilmington and GAINESVILLE ROAD
has been running through to GAINESVILLE for about one
month mast but has already given satisfactory evil
dence that it is TO be mean adjunct TO the business
of the Central Ohio and Baltimore and ONO Roads.
The tonnage cars by both routes from CINCINNATI wa
Columbus and Wilmington are run through 10 the
Ohio River at Belaire without relOading.
During the last three weeks the transfers of freight
~ well as passengers have been made, between BAIT
moro and Benwood upon the ice, which varies IN
thickness there from two to six feet. For last week
tbe average amount of freight in produce beside 1--WE
stock thus transferred to the Baltimore and ONO kau
road WAS 10 tuns daily. The quantity OF merchan-
disc transferred to the Central Ohio Road for the same
neriod was 65 uns For the present week, as we are
crediblv advised, these amounts are increased. On
Tuesday 18th 20 carloads, nearly 200 tuns, were
received from the Central and Is loads Of fine mer
chandse devered--beng about 100 tuns.
Among the freight contracts under execution by thus
route may be mentioned one TOR 300 tuns boxed meats
for Messrs Reman and Sons of Baltimore, intended
for the New-York market, where is sold on European
account The navigation between Baltimore and
New-York being so effectualy closed, the Baltimore
and Ohio and Central Ohio lines would assuredly have
lost this and other trade but for the recent arrange
ments they have perfected with the Philadelphia and
the Camden and Amboy Railroad, by which they are
now enabled to put freight through in both directions
between New-fork and the West by railroad, thus
giving the shippers chance of connecting lines when
a choice again offers.
Fyo~ The Hartford COVydaG
The Hartford and New Haven Road have been
accused of holding back freight that ought to be or
warded South over their road. The Hartford and
New. Haven Road have been notified that freight
hound south of New.York will not be forwarded at
preseut by the New-Haven and New-York Road
The reason is that New-York City streets are in such
condition that goods cannot be cared through them
The Hartford Road is in condition to foVu1t freight
faster than the New-Haven take it along
This is to be expected. The New-Haven and New
York Road becomes under the unprecedented circum-
stances of the East River, the sole chanuel for the
great bulk of New-England. No road could be ex-
1ected suddenly to assume such burden. And the
Hartford Road consults the true interests OF all the
parties in forwarding only such freight as can be dis
posed Of in New York and in forwarding that no
faster than the New-Haven Road can take it along
We ought to deal reasonably with all these questions
and to remember that our Hartford Road is interested
TO do all the business that can be done before the river
opens.
