We find the following in the Weldon correspondence
of the Petersburg Press The writer is correct in refer
ence to the receipts and expenses of the Road at least
in round numbers. We learn that arrangements
have already been made for the erection of the needed
Office at Halifax
"I learn that such is the influx of freight to the diff
frent depots on the Wilmington road to require an
additional train-making three through trains each
week during the winter. By the way, although there
has been considerable falling off in the through travel
this route the nett earnings OF the road for the
year ending Both September, only about one hun
dred dollars less than last year. The gross receipts of
tn road for the year. about 44 900 dollars. The
falling off account of through travel is about $46
$780, while the expenses OF operating the road have been
reduced about $467OO. The road will therefore nc
doubt pay the usual dividend this year.
Il cannot refrain from paying merited compliment
to the management of the road. There has been
accident Of moment and not over one or two
failures to connect during the whole year Every
thing goes on like clock work, and the General
Superintendent, Col. Fremont could not expect and
hardly desire, more successful results of bis labors He

Hon. j. CLANCY JoNEs.-It affords great pleasure
to announce that the appointment of Hon. j. CLANCY
Jones' of Pennsylvania minister to Austria, which
voluntarily rendered to him by the Presden', has
been accepted by that gentleman The fathfuness and
ability of his whole course in Congress as national
democrat have been recognised and endorsed by the
country. AS chairman of the Committee of Ways and
Means in the House of Representatives most i'm

knowledge of financial questions extended his influence

severely felt. But his appointment to Austria was
