sfhs that Of the Baltimore and Ohio road we can
not understand It 10 true the report qualifes its
estimate By the remark. that with the assumed
equipmentn of the Covinston road, It's capacity Is
eooooosons. As equipment q, e. rolling stock can
be mnitpliedin proportion to the demands OF raens
!, is not reasonable TO assume that the NUMBER OF
engines and cars with which road commences
business furnish the standard OF as eafacisy
shas were 20, road for which no engines had been
bought woaid have no capacity at all
The statement is not just to the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, which, In 1854, transported upwards
of sspen huadrcd skoasaad Tons; and itsis fair to
presume Il ala not exert the fu extent Of It's capa-
city. Now the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and
the Cos4ngsou and Ohio Railroad, are both single
tracks, and the latter from It's superior grades, has
an advantage that viii enable It's trains to carry
three times the weight of the trains VI the former
We win not undertake TO say what the capacity Of
the Covington aud Ohio Railroad win be. This We
can say, how ever that from what the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad has done, it can transport q
million Of tons and the Covington and Ohio Rail.
road has capacity greater than that road, and
therefore WIN be competent to the movement Of

ssThe Prophetic War.-Russia Triumph.

Under this head, Mr. w. w. Jones sends us a
communication reiterating the views he has often
expressed In several of the city papers upon the
subject of the war in the East Mr.. Jones has de.
voted much time and labor to the study of the pro-
phetic writers, and has arrived at some conclu.
eions which he has given different occasions to
the public, and which are of somewhat startling
character. While we do not understand and OF
course do not endorse the theories of Mr. Jones,
and havea notion that the best key to the pro.
phetic writings Is that which is afforded in their
fulfIment, we must acknowledge that Mr.. Jones
made good hit, when he some years ago interpre.
ted certain Of the prophetic writings as referring
to a great war in the East, in which Russia and
Turkey were to be prominent performers Mr.
Jones in the communication before u.s. is entirely
incredulous as the possibility of early peace
among the beiligerant powers The Gear, saith
Mr.. Jones, !. came forth to the Danube and was
driven back for the Lord had said Lwill turn thee
back He win again come against and take the
Turkish Empire, for thus saith the Lord. I will
bring thee forth. 1t is worthy of remark that the
Gar came forth at the first in his own strength,
but when he shall come forth again several other
powers will be Joined with him hence the Lord
says, and many people with thee'r The Austri-
ans are one of the many people, and therefore the
Western Powers need not expect her to join them.
The chief helps of the Sultan are these 'Sheba De-
den, and the merchants of Tarshesh,' l.. e. France
and England !; but the Gear shall whip them and
take the Sultan's throne, and invade the land of
rael--Ezekier 80 and &c., and Daniel H. 40 to the
end of chapter Il. :" ---------------------------
This interpretation of Mr. Jones viii be good
news 70 the Czar. AT present, his enemies seem
doubling upon him in all directions. The allies
Mr. Jones promises him, were never more needed
In fact we are not 50 but Austria win yet dis
appoint the hopes of the allies and should Prussia
unite with her, the Western governments may yet
be disappointed in their expectations of crippling
Russian power. eIts3eit salav74H -
