A special meeting of the Directors of the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton aud Dayton Railroad Companies
was held on Tuesday of last week. at which Presi-
dent LHoMMEDIEU Delivered an address, speaking
ofthe consolidation as follows:
The subject Of a consnlida,i1n Of the c, H. and
d. and ID. and NJ. Companies has been I'M Ter CON
sideration for year past. The ID. and NJ. Com
pany proposes To put in their stock at fnIty per
cent, and have obtained nearly unanimous vote
of their stockholders to that effect. This would
require an issue of IN liin of stock, making in
all four millions of joint stock The c. H. anil d
Company are the holders of half of tho present
s.ock Of the ID. and NJ. Company, received as a
bonus on the lease, and would be entitled to the
b,neft Of half million of the new stock 1t has
been suggested by stockholders, who favor the
issue Of the present Q. II. and D. stock to supply
immediate necessities, that the half million OF
stock TO be hereafter received from the con o ida
tion, be cancelled Thus leaving the capital Of the
two roads, of two hundred miles, four millions of
dollars.
This would answer the pUrp sc, if our stockhold-
ers were really to vote the consolidation. 1t is
objected, however, by quite large number of
tlem, that it is premature to consolidate at III q
time.
While Il is conceded by al that III, d. and ".
road, when fully developed will earn her portion
OF ten per cent. dividend annually, it is evident
she cannot contribute anything for several years
t0 come, needing all her net earnings in permanent
improvements on her road aud in furnishing eq nip
ments for the increase of business. The c. IL and
ID. Company now owns majority of the d. NJ
stock, AMI is virtually responsible for all her
bonded debt, and will eventually consolidate. The
two roads are now worked as one. Separate ac-
counts are kept Of the earnings of both companies
on the books of the c. II. and D., as required by
the leases but the sam, ntii;crs manage the whole
No expense beyonl the hire of one clerk and some
stationery would be saved by constellation
1t is urged in favor Of immediate consolidation,
that If postponed until that road earns dividend,
tn, stock must be I ken at higher figure than
forty per c,nt. This may be the case, 6ut the G
ii. and d. stockholders should always be ready to
agree that the net earnings applicable to div
lends, earned by the d. and NJ. Compani IS shaud
FIX the relative value of her stock, compared to
those of the net earnings of the G.. IL. and D. alike
applicable to dividends

IMPORTANT Observation-Disclosures OF PRISONERS.
1t will be recollected that some time ago four
cltlzens OF south Carolina were arrested, by COM
mand of Major General Sickles, and having been
tired by military court, under the orders of that
ofiicer, were sentenced to death. The sentence
was committed by the President to Imprisonment
Tor he, and the prisoners having been first dis
patched to the Dry Tortugas, in order to evade a
writ OF habeas corpus, were eventually incarce-
rated In Fort Delaware Here they were demand
ed by the civil authorities, under writ of habeas
corpus issued by Judge Hall, the District Judge
OF the United States for the district of Delaware
Judge Hall is magistrate venerable alike by his
years and by the dignity and firmness with which
ne has, through long career, administered his
high office. The mandate of his court was obeyed:
the prisoners were brought before him, and after
patient hearing OF the case, they were discharg-

ON motion of A. a. yanBokkelen, it was resolved

Direct Trade and Home Manufactures.

In our issue of yesterday, we referred to
the present condition of the Southern States
as being In many respects deplorable, but
nevertheless that the sterling qualities of
our people, as proved by terrible struggle
of four years, and the advantages of our
soil and climate, give us every reason, if
true to ourselves, to look forward to great
ness and prosperity. We attributed our
lack of war material, at the commencement
of the late contest, to the fact that our
whole surplus production had been, from
the commencement of the Government,
and paid for by Northern manufactures
thus making the South the tributary to all
the material interests of the North, adding
continually to the accumulations of that
section, at the same time impoverishing our
own. We referred also, to the fact that,
instead of taking to heart the lessons of ex-
% erience in this respect, we are now i'm
porting Northern manufactures in a thrice
increased ratio, and we hazarded the opin-
ion that our whole surplus production of
this year will be required to pay for the
Northern manufactures so this year i'm
ported.
In continuing the subject to-day, we still
confidently repeat the allegation, that it will
require our whole surplus production this
year to pay our Northern Indebtedness this
year incurred. Now this is deplorable
state of affairs, and SO long as it exists, we
never will be anything save mere hewers
of wood and drawers of water " for our fell
low-citizens North of Mason & Dixon's
line If our surplus production is to be
annually sold to defray our continually ac-
cruing debts to the Northern people, what
hope can we entertain of developing our
resources !? or, what can we see in the future,
save wretchedness and beggary

ed on the express ground that " according to the
law of the land the prisoners ought not to and
cannot be held under the commuted sentence 90 OF
| this military commission, and that they Do ulS-
charged. Baltimore Sun. 24sh sfSt.
We learn from the Columbia papers that
the prisoners above alluded to, arrived IN
that city on Wednesday last. en- route for
their homes in Anderson District, 5. c.
Their names are, James Crawford Keys,
Robert Keys, Elisha Byrem, and Francis
Gaines Showers.
1t will be remembered (says the Charles
ton Courier that in October of last year
these gentlemen were arrested upon suspl-
cion of being implicated in the murder OF
three Federal soldiers at Browns Ferry, IN
Anderson District, and after confinement
of five months were brought to this city and
placed upon trial by Military Commission.
After tedious and laborious investigation,
the details of which were deliberately re
ported by the Courier, they were pronounced
guilty and sentenced to be hung at Castle
Pinkney, on Friday Immediately subsequent
to the publication of the findings of the
Court.
"The case excited the deepest. commisera-
ton of the large circle of the friends of the
accused in this city, by whom, as well as
by the public generally, they were believed
to be innocent, and by the exercise of their
untiring exertions, aided by the energies
and ability of their distinguished counsel,
General James Conner and Hon. Armistead
Burt, who had conducted their defence, a
reprieve was obtained. An effort was then
made to have hearing of the case before
Judge Bryan, of the United States Court of
this District, upon a writ of Hu6eas Corpus.
with o view to their release, but it failed
on account of the refusal of General Sick
les, in whose custody they were, to recog-
nize the jurisdiction of the Court. Pend
ing these proceedingsth the sentence was COM
muted by President johnson to imprison-
ment for life, and they were removed to the
Dry Tortugas. But a short time elapsed
before the Executive clemency was again
successfully invoked and the place of con-
fnement was changed to Fort Delaware,
from which they have just been released in
the way already Indicated"

cept the payment of the annual interest CT same
for period, on an average of thirty years, thus
entirely relieving the Company on that score, for
that length of time"
It also states that the property is resusci-
tatssd and in good efficient order. There
remains, however, no more money to expend
in reconstruction, and that the ability to
work the road cheaply and economically in
the future is good, inasmuch as everything
is new and in good order. The cost of OPP
Grating must therefore necessarily be COM
paratiyely small.

PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS REPORT.
The report commences with reference
to the reports made at the last annual meet
ing, showing the condition of the road, its
indebtedness and finances, and giving a
brief statement of the amounts due on the
back and unpaid interests on its bonded
debt, income on mortgage bonds, DC. AT
ter this statement of the condition of the
road, the report says:
SIN November last we virtually found ourselves
in the above condition, regarding our bonded debt
and back interest, and needing further some six
hundred Thousand dollars worth OF property to
put the Road in good condition. To obtain this,
we had no money, but little credit and no assets.
Fortunately, however, in arranging our bonded
debt we were enabled to make an asset, and on
this-wiih some portion of the receipts of the road
we have thus far worked. This, however, involv-
ed the retiring of our entire bonded liability, scat
tered all over this country and portion abroad,
and its extension. Steps were taken early i'm De-
cember last to fund the back interest on our bond
ed debt and obtain an extension on the bonds
themselves. As viii appear further or, We have
practically accomplished this, and postponed all

Size OF the Ark.

Infdels have objected to the size of the
ark-lIave asserted that ii is quite absurd
to suppose that ever there could be yes
sci constructed large enough TO hold all
the creatures which must have been
placed in it, with sufficient food, it may
be- from six to twelve months-water for
the fish, corn for the four footed animlas,
seed tor the birds, and so on. Now we
will take the dimensions of the ark from
the record of Moses, and calculate them
on the lowest possible scale. There are
two definitions given to 4 cubit-one
that is eighteen iuches We will take it
only at the lowest. Moses states that
the ark was 500 cubits long. This would
make it 450 feet long, or about the length
Of ST. Paul's Cathedral, London. The
bredth it states to be 40 cubits; we then
have it IS feet in breath. He states it
to be SO cubits high, SO that it was 40
feet hight The tunnage Of the ark, ac
cording to the computation of modern
carpenters, must have been $4,000 tuns.
The largest English ship, of size al
together unamanigable to those who have
never seen it. is $500 tuns burden; so
the ark must have been equal to seven
teen first rate ships of war, and if armed
as such ships are, it would have contained
beyord $4,000 men, and provisions for
eighteen months. Button has asserted
tn at all four footed animals may be re-
duced to go pairs, and the birds to still
smaller number. On calculating, there
fore, we find that the ark would have
held more than five times the necessary
the required quantity of food to maintain
them for twelve months
