"The Erie Railroad War"

The sensation of the day in New York, is
grand pitched battle between two Wall
street magnates, and their adherents, for
the control of a great and productive rail-
way line between New York and the great
West. The battle of the Bulls and Bears
have been immortalized in story, and the
annals Of Wall-street abound in instances
of we'll fought fields where the magnitude of
the prize involved, and the skill and pluck
displayed on both sides, including what the
unlucky PHrNEAs T. BARNUM euphonistically
styled "business TACT" but which plain peo-
pie called tswindling," challenged public
interest. But the glories of all these en-
counters pale before the splendors of this
new tournament.
The chief combatants are CORNELIUS
VANDERBILT, the steamship and railway
king, and DANIEL DREW the Erie potentate.
VANDERBILT, who owns, among other
things, q controlling interest in the Gen.
trail, the Hudson River, and Harlem roads,
and is besides large holder of Erie stock,
is striving to obtain entire control of this
latter road, to the end that he may monopo-
lize the carrying of freight and passengers
between the city of New York and oil points
west. Mr.. DREW and his associates, on the
other hand, have no idea of being gobbled
up in off-hand style by the American
Hudson, and have made stout resistance.
DREW is comparatively poor man, not
worth, at the outside, more than eight or
ten millions, while VANDERBILrs fortune
is not less than sixty millions. DREW has
numerous wealthy associates however, and
both sides are plentifully supplied with the
sinews of war.
The fight began in Wall.street, by the
usual series of bull and bear operations,
but. as the skill, experience and pluck were
about equal on both sides, no material ad
vantage was gained by either party. Re-
course was then had to the courts, and bills
and cross bills, injunctions and counter in

The Duty of White Men.

The Wilmington Journal says with force
and Justice: "The time has now come when
good men must not and cannot afford to
sacrifice the right to vote to a natural and
commendable repugnance to mingle in the
motley and disreputable concourse around
the polls. The vote of every decent man
is now of the utmost Importance, and fail
ure to use the franchise now may result in
inability to do so in the future. See to it,,
that none entitled to register fail to do 80.
A white man who voluntarily DISTINGUISHES
himself in this crisis, is an enemy to his
race"

functions, orders of arrest; indictments, at
tachments, and all the projectiles of the
legal arsenals, few thick as hail. But in
the thick of the fight, and while all the
world was looking wonderingly on, General
DnBw suddenly evacuated his position and
retreated across the Hudson River to Jersey
city. He carried his baggage and ammu-
milton safely off; that is to soy, the books of
the Erie Company and about eight millions
in capital, and, with the officers of the COM
pany and others of his adherents, is strong
ly entrenched at the companys Offices on
the long dock. AS the courts of New York
can exercise no jurisdiction in New Jersey,
DREW bids defiance to the injunctions is
sued against him, and remains master of
the situation. It is alleged that attempts
have been made by the VANDERBILT party to
kidnap him and bring him over the river by
force, and his camp has, in consequence,
been elaborately fortified. Two twelve
Founders, heavily loaded with grape and
canister, command the main approaches to
the building; strong skirmish line holds the
advance, and powerful reserve garrisons
the Offices themselves. In addition to this,
boats, filled with armed men, patrol the
river night and day, relieving each other
every two hours, and force of detectives
is kept at the New York end of the differ
ent ferry houses. DREw's position is con-
sidered impregnable, and with eight mil
lions in cash at his command, to say moth
ing of other resources. it is scarcely likely
he can be starved out.
The business cf the road goes on as usual,
but the stockholders get no dividends, and
are compelled to sit quietly and watch the
fluctuations of their stock, as it bobs up
and down like o cork floating in troubled
waters.
1t is grand and impressive moral spec
tacle, rivalling, in its way, the Black Crook,
or the anniversary isms; aud is calculated
to inspire, in thoughtful observers, new
ideas of the beauty of ck-jobbing, and
profound admiration of the American sys-
tenn of railway management.
