RAILROADS.

An important announcement is made by

1t seems that the pOstpouement Of the vote on
the proposed subscription by Augusta county
has delayed the consol datlOn of the Company
into the Chesapeake and Ohio Company, but it
is believed that this delay will not long con-
tinue. In the meantime the Central Railroad
Company propose to complete the road from
Coylngton to White Sulphur Springs without
delay, and now advertise for proposals to do
by law.
The railroad meeting at Montrose, Pa, on
Friday, was enthusiastic. Mr.. Stevenson, engi-

from Montrose to Hop0ot,om, a distance of thir-
teen miles, and found it very feasible, with no
difficult or expensive obstacles to overcome.

CHICAGO, Aug. A.-Another strike took place
among the laboIers on Rock Island, on the 18th
instant. One hundred quit work. The strikers
ale some OF the men, who nine days ago struck
on account of the ruling of General Schoield,
but afterwards went to work. 1t seems that ut
the time of the first strike committee from the
strikers waited on Hiram Price, Representative
in Congress from the District, and asked his
opinion in regard TO the intention Of Congress
in passing the Eght-hour law; whether ten
hours pay was to be allowed or not under it.
Mr.. Price told them the question of wages was
to be considered when the law was passed, and
that he was not prepared to give an opinion.
He advised the men to go 70 work, labor eight
hours day, and accept eight hour wages, and
when Congress meets, present their claims for
the amount withheld under the schodeld de-
cison. The men adopted this advice, and went
to work, but after working few days they
again struck.
The Democrats had large meeting here last

LONDON, Aug. A.-Telegrams promptly re.
ceived from New York, announcing the death or
Thaddeus Stevens, created most profound sem
sation, and nearly all the morning journals
have elaborate obituary notices.
The Times, after recounting Mr.. Stevens pro-
mlnent connection with the recent impe lchment
project, and his views relative to the payment of
United States 6ve-twenties, concludes its article
as follows: -"The death OF Thaddeus Stevens is
not now public loss. His impeachment policy
was Of incaculable injury to his political party,
and the financial dishonesty which he encou.
ragged dies with him. He was fanatical, bitter
and self-willed man, but not mean or deceltful.
He is the last OF the leading Americans who had
the courage to rise above political partisan
chip"
The Morning Telegraph says:-"Mr. Stevens
was neither good, wise, nor generous, but in his
time did signal service, and, with all his faults,
merits the famous phraae-That was man.'n
The Daily Neeos says:-"The death of Mr..
Stevens leaves an important place untitled, both
in the lead of his party and in the annals OF the
nation"
The other journals have articles expressing
similar views.

BosToN, Aug. IA heavy hurricane, disas-

N. H., yesterday afternoon. Captain John
Fisher, veteran seaman seventy years of age,
was capsized in a boat and drowned. A large
tent at Frost's Point, in which the Portsmouth
Philharmonic Society were holding picnic,
was lifted bodily, poles, stakes, and all, and
scattered over the members and musicians.
Four persons were injured, none seriously. At
