A Novel TELEGRAPH MEETING.-The di'

Magnetic Telegraph Company were to have
had meeting in that city last week, but were
prevented by the distractions on the rail-

At the appointed hour the President took
the chair in Philadelphia. and the Directors
in Washington, Baltimore, Wilmington, and
New York promptly answered to the call OF

THE PRosPEcTs OF PEACE.- The Europe.
an news indicates 4 determination on The
the pant Of the Allies to have peace, and 4
renewed confidence on the part of Austria
that peace is practicable. Prince Esterhazy
has gone to ST Petersburg with platform
upon which the Allies, Prussia, and Austria
are willing to unite. Some of the London
papers are skeptical about the conditions Of
the proposed peace, as reported by the Morn
ing Post; but the Paris patrie of the 10Th
says that "new reports, transmitted Gy private
telegraph, tend to confirm what the MorninU
Post has stated in relation to Prince Ester
hazy's mission" The same paper saws there
is no longer any doubt, either Il. Vienna or
Berlin, OF the entire agreement between
France England, and Austria as to the con-
diuons upon which they will negotiate with
Russia, especially in relation to the neutral
ization of the Black Sea. Some of the Ger.
man journals doubt whether the Gar would
assent to the latter condition; but tho Vienna
correspondent of the Emancipation Beige
no mean aulhority-says that Prince Gorts.
chakolf has made statements upon this point
which "permit the hope Of Il satisfactory
solution"
On the whole, we have bad no news since
the war commenced that looked so favorable
rs this; at no time has the end of this disas-
trous conflict appeared so near Ms now. In
the naturalization of the Black Sea, if Rus. |
sia is compelled to submit to it, she makes |
no concession which she cannot well afford, |
now that she has got Kars and the uninter-
rupted range of the county lying between
the Black Sea and the Caspian, which we |
presume she will insist upon retaining. She |
will come out of the contest with more ter !
ritory than when she began it, and will not |
have lost an inch.
Should peace be concluded upon tho con-
ditions reported, IL ViU furnish the most mem
orable illustration Of the folly of aoarS as a
means Of adjusting the rights and interests
of nations that the history of the world has
ever presented 1t will testify to the loss of
hundreds Of thousands of lives and hundreds
of millions Of treasure, without accomplish
ing the results for which either of the parties
embarked in the conflict.

The analogy furnished by a man of war

that which makes the engineer, standing upon

is where his position, his duties, his expert
ence, and his habits enable him best of all to
see every thing, to know what ought To be
done, and to do it promptly.
There is no naturally or necessary connex-
ion between the financial duties of conduc.
tor and the potage ola train. On the other
hand, the discharge of those duties, paricu-
larry in long trains or on roads through pop
ulous districts and where the stations are
numerous, will disqualiy the conductor from
properly doing the work. 1t is at least one
