PROFITS OF THE EXPRESS BUSINESS.
The American Express Company of
New York, in 1864, paid cash dvi-
dends to the amount. of thirty~eight
per cent. on capital of $4,000, 900, in
addition to fifty per cont. in paid>up
stock on an increase of its capital to
$3,000,000, equal to eighty eight per cent.
for one years profits on capital that
did not originally cost one-half of it's
then fixed value. On its increased
capital of 50, 100000, the same company
paid, dnring the first eight months of
the present year, twenty>six per cent.
in cash, and twenty-five per cent. in
additional paid.up stock, and fur
ther cash dividend of twenty five per
cent. is expected for the balance,
(four montbs) Of the year-over one
hundred per cont per annum on its
actual paid up capital. The stock of
this company, at last reports from
New York, was selling at three times
its par value. What wonder, then,
that the railroads, out of whose lcgit.
innate business this profit is chiefly
made, are taking steps to put an end
to such useless drain upon their
business and the pockets of the people

At a quarter before ] o'clock to-day the Sc
verest earthquake ever felt here frightened al
most the entire popuiation out Of their houses
into the streets. During half a minute there
were two tremendous shocks, which caused
buildings to rock to and fro in a manner alto
gether alarming. Services were over IN most
OF the churches A large congregation at the
Unitarian Church was being dismissed when
the shock commenced. The ladies shrieked
and all pushed for the; door faster than they
could be accommodated with exit. Similar
scenes took place at st. Marys Cathedral and
some other churches and Sunday schools
The rush was so great at the Catholicchurch
on Vallejo street that the large doors. at the
main entrance were carried away and several
persons injured by being trampled upon. The
walls of many buildings wre cracked in many
places, and it surprises every one that large
stately edifces like the Occidental and Cos
mopoiitan Hotels and other buildings OF that
class were not generally more seriously injur-
ed. More or less plasterfng fell from perhaps
half the ceilings of the CITY,. Cornices fell from
every building. The entire front of four
story brick building inst erected on Third
street fell outward, covering about half that
wide street with fragments. One indepeud-
entity constructed chimney Of brick house fell
and crushed through the roof Of the dining
room, coming down npon tables and dishes to
the, establishment of the boarders who were
taking lunch. Three of the servants were
injured. Two Cinnamon were badly injured
by the falling of fire wall on jackson street.
The City Hall bell commenced tolling on ac-
count Of the vibration of the tower, and the
interior walls of the building were much brok-
eniup. Fissures two or three feet wide were
opened in the ground in the lower part of the
city where it Is made land, and some Of the
grounds was elevated many feet above its for
mer level eszeiss l'siit.l tsgas !
Brief accounts from Sacramento, Stockton
and San Jose represent the shock as the Sc
verest ever felt in those cities. It was not felt
at Marysville nor at PIaceryille, but the town
of Santa Cruz felt it very severely, some Of
the brick buildings suffering much damage,
and two being destroyed. :.

The London correspondent Of the Toronto
Globe has the following: "There is an ugly ru-
NOR afioat about ministers. 1t has been put
into shape in La France, the Empress Euge-
MES paper. According to that not badly in
formed journal, we have just passed through a
ministerial crisis. Earl Russell has, as you
know, been keeping his hand in at letter writ
ing, in the shape of a despatch denouncing the
Gastein convention. The Queen, who is thor
oughly German in her sympathies, is said to
have objected to this despatch, whereupon Earl
Russell offered to resign. Lord Palmerston
however, supported the foreign minister, and
the Queen gave way. Thus we were spared a
break up Of the ministry in the recess. Now /
know that story of this kind has been cur
rent here, and believe it to be wholly with.
out foundation. People know the Queen,s
German sympsthies, and hurry to the conclu-
sion that she must have disapproved of q de-
spatch which lectured the Germans in the an
proved small Russell fashion. PerhaDs she did
OBJECT TO IT. but depend upon il, she never gave
her objection very prominent verbal form. Her
Majesty as much too wise to do any such thing.

Great Destruction of PROPERTY $500
PIT HOLE, Oct. O. q
n Highway robberies in this section are be-
coming of almost daily occurrence. The scenes
of operations are on the roads leading to Ii
tusville and Skaters, and the robbers are so
numerous and bold it is not safe to travel the
roads alone. Yesterday Mr. Rockford, Of
JAMESTOWN, MY, while on his way to Shat
fers, was waylaid and robbed of $1,500 and a
gold watch, and left for dead. His is alive,
but it is not likely that he will recover. aA
Garrotting is almost of nightly occurrence
here, making it unsafe to be out after dark
Those doing business here are now organizing
themselves into vigilance committee for their
own protection; and if any of the scoundrels
are caught, lynch law will take its course, and
no mercy be shown. ,.s-o,, IS ,sa8ta

one O'Clock this AN. The tanks of the larq-

containing 1000 barrels of oil, caught fire,
spreading destruction in all directions. Thir-

with forgery. 1t appears that the prisoner
proposes to plead guilty, but as matters affect

pending and unfinished, and his explanations
and testimony are still referred to those inter

twisted together and tied with string. About

Among new books promised for the ap-
preaching season and likely to have 4 large
sale, we may mention one, now in press, which
bears the title at the head of this article. The
extraordinary campaigns of General Sherman
are not only among the most striking events
OF the late war, but among the most brilliant
aeneyemeuts recorded in history, and the in
terest which attaches to them is Of a kind not
nkely to abate The present work, prepared
by Col. $. N. Bowman and Lieut.. Col. r. d.
Irwin, claims to be a complete official history
OF the Grand Army as whole, and in all its
details. Every Corps, Division, Brigade and
Regiment is awarded its full share of credit
and praise, the routes of march are carefully
followed, the battle and skirmishes are describ-
ed with the yividness Of actual participation
and the whole narrative is enlivened by the
countless incidents, both sad and mirthfpl,
that were an inevitable accompaniment of
such campaigns, The authors having been
allowed access to the reports, journals, order
books and private letter-books of Generals
Grant, Sherman, Thomas, Howard, SlocEm,
Schofeld and many others, are supplied with
a great amorEnt of information not attainable
through any ether channels, and by means Of
which they are able to give to their account of
events a degree of accuracy not elsewhere
