TO TIE Etift0TS NJ the Wheeting IntettfgeHeer:
GESTLEXEx:-It seems from couple of let
tors Keen published lately in two of the Vince
ling papers, that the stockholders of the Hem
field Railroad Company very anxious 10
know the true gtate Of the COmpaDy's affairs
think it is near time the stockholders would
get their eyes open, and attend to their own in
tercSts. Everything has been long enough COW
cred upin mystery We are told that report
will he made out 50 soon as there is fll meet
ing Of the Directors. II am not mistaken, they
published report in January, 1857, without
ful meeting Of the Directors, and it was dec
dedly rich, bnt far from giving satisfaction to
these who read it. Bnt why not try ii again,
and make a clean breast of it. If rytbing Is
right, and there is nothing rotten in Denmark
the Directors need have lao hesitation in show
ing their hand; and ifanything has been rnisrep-
resented, the sooner we know it tile better
Why should the Directors hesitate to make
known the true state of the Company affairs to
the Stockholders Why not tell what has been
done with the municipal bonds, and what has
been done with the individual subscription; and
what has become Of the million of first mortgage
bonds that has been issued lately. Is it not
strange that all has been spent on road where
no person lias been paid for doing the work.:
If all is gone, wc are anxious to know the lucky
parties who received it. Judging from past c&-
crtion, five are not to get a report till after
full meeting Of the Directors, we need not look
for an explanation very soon.
Should the Henpfield railroad remain idle till
we get Il report We fear it would he like dis
solving rain bow--thc shadow will be there, but
the original gone. Although the Directors have
done great many small things which would be
runOus to those who struggled hardest for the
completion Of the road, they have also the credit
of doing great things. Immediately after their
election they repudiatcd everything in the shape
of bill against the Company and embarked in
a mammoth contract which was sure to complete
the HcInpncld railroad and immOrtaliZc them
selves, as hnanciers, for ever. But by bad luck
or bad management, before the scheme was half
ruatnrcd, you could sec they were strunglng the
! IIcmplield road-had gave it aud all who had
the misfortune to be connected with it, the last
dying blow 1t is true the road was dragged
along to Washington, (Pa.) by right or wrong !;
but / am sorry to say the credit of build
| ing the road is not given to whom credit
is due. | think if there is any little glory at
tached TO finishing the lIempfield road the par
ties who have given their service and capital to
accomplish it should have the credit as it is the
only remuneration they likely to receive
| II is now clear to every person that the present
Directors of the Hcmpield railroad, without a
good President, good fnancier, can be of no
service to the Company. Knowing this fact,
which they must would it not be graceful in
them To tender their resignation and leave the
why for some good business men TO come to the
rescue of the road, or such MS would he able to
give more general satisfaction to the stockhnld-
crs, who have been worried with promises with
out performance pleasant VALLEY.
