Ohio and Mississippi Railroad.

The troubles which have attended this
road ior two or three years past have all
been finally settled, bya general compro
mise among the parties. The proposition
made some lime since by AIR. ii. ID. Bacon
10 the city Of St. Louis was, as is generally
known, accepted by the authorities acting
for the latter; and another proposition sub
milted 10 the county was also accepted, with
this difference, that the county was paid
thirty yer cent. in Income Bonds, instead OF
twenty per cent. paid to the city for its
stock. Under this arrangement, all suits
between the parties are discontinued. The
Income Bonds bear an interest of seven
per cent. per annum, and run for twenty
years. ... ,-.... ..-...g ....
THIS compromise having been made, the
deed Of lease 10 Mr.. jerks was annuled,
and Mr.. Bacon re-conveyed the road back
to the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad Com
paBy-in consideration OF the acknowledge
ment OF the debt due to Page s. Bacon,
which was computed to be between two
and three millions Of dollars, To secure
this debt the Company have agreed TO issue
50, 100000 in Construction Bonds, and
$4,000, 600 Income Bonds, called third and
fourth mortgages. The city and county OF
St. Lonis receive part OF these income
bonds in settlement with Mr.. Bacon. Mr..
5. NJ. d. Barlow, of New York, who was
mainly instrumental in securing the com
pletion of the Eastern Division OF the road,
has been cleo ed President OF the Western
Division. gr SIS ..
These arrangements, which are, doubt
less, satisfactory 10 ell parties, will have
the effect Of relieving the road from all EN-,
barrassments, and of placing it under one
general head, There is every reason TO
believe that, although the road has cost a
very large amount OF money, it will not be,
10 the new stockholders, an Improbable
stock. To St. Louis it is road Of vast
importance, and must always be a great
thoroughlare for trade and travel Repub-

The IlIness Of Col. BENTON.

A Washington correspondent of the .Mer-
curry, under date of October 9th, speaking
Of the illness Of Col. Benton, says:
"Mr. Benton is generally believed to be
convalescent, bat this is an error. A severe
parOxysrn is over; his physicians have pro-
nounced him better, and his family are
cheered; but he knows that he holds but a
slender lease OF life, and he has friends who
divine this conviction, though he does not
express it. There is deep and painful dis
ease within the cavity Of Tie abdomen,whlch

action, but is always impaIring MS energy,

gained his flesh, his strength, or natural
buoyaney, and will not"

returns for 1856, would yield net $780,

II, then, the States income is 10 be APP

LoNe CREDITs.-- Onr sound business
men have often deplored Che custom Of
granting long credits, that gradually grew
up in several branches Of trade; and espec-
tally in the Western trade. The necessity
OF shortening them was so apparent, that,
at times, efforts have been made TO it; but
not with much success. An effort is now
making 10 shorten credits. The evils Of
long credits are so many and seriouss and
the benefits Of short credits are so obvious,
that a step in the right direction would
seem TO commend itself 10 the favor oil the
business community. II has become "a ne
oessity. Our trade to the West is increas-
ing with q rapidly mo st gratifying; and as
Boston can supply a class Of goods adapted
TO the Western market, better than any 9TH
er city, it is reasonable 10 suppose that the
buyers would accede 10 reasonable term
of credit. In the long run short credits are
better both for buyers and seller; ard re-
form in this direction could hardly fail to
result in making this rapidly increasing
trade also more healthy. A general un-
derstanding to accede 10 a judicious short
enng of credits, would be Of great benefit
TO the whole community. Boston Post.
