WASHINGTON, August 80, 1868.

WASHINGTON, August 30, 1865.
In my letter of the 9th instant 1t was
stated that few days would probably de-
velop facts sufficient to give some definite
information as to whether or not there
would be September session of Congress.
Since then it has been rendered quite GER
tain that there will be no meeting, the re-
presentations Of the carpet-baggers, al
though rather alarming, not being OF suf1-
cient weight to overbalance the decision
which is felt by the northern Radicals that
session at this time will operate against
them in the campaign. These southern re-
representatives. and senator's in Congress may
az we'll know that their opinions and views
have very little effect with their northern
colleagues. So far as they can be used by
them it is very we'll; but their opinion in
matters of party policy is not sought.
During the last session of Congress
strong effort was made by some Of the quon-
dam volunteer officers who had held high
rank and others to reduce the force of the
regular army by dismissing quite o number
of officers of all grades. Had the bill passed
it would have followed as matter OF course
that the officers who would have thus been
turned out of the service would have been
designated by the originstors OF the mea-
sure in many instances. The introduction
of the clause having this purpose in view
caused much comment, and gave great Of
fence to old army officers, as it was justly
termed as blow at West Point and the
graduates of that institution. 1t is believed
that some of the volunteer soldier members
of the next session will reintroduce this
subject, but how it will result is not known.
1t will, of course, depend very much upon
the result of the election this fall.
The McCulloch- Rollins deadlock con-
tinues, though some parties interested IN
its termination profess to believe that they
will agree upon settlement during this
week. Some of the friends of the latter are
tired of the matter, and as the Secretary
modestly claims only portion OF the othcers
appointed to be supporters of the PRESIDENT
it is regarded very ungenerous, to say the
least, that Mr.. Rollins withholds his con-
sent, which really is not actually necessary
to their appointment; indeed, MIR. McCul-
loch has been always very modest IN his de-
mauds for officers of the Department who
are friends of the President. 1t Is even
now filled with large quota Of those who
have been among his most inveterate enc
mics. That has been long harped upon, how
ever, and it is very generally known. Their
strength and influence was exerted against
the President during the impeachment trial,
and there has certainly not been the slight
est change of feeling among them to TINS
dav. TIMoN.

1o4;nns. the company to be hereafter known
as fine Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Conn
nany. to be entitled to all the benefits of
the charter Of the Covington and Ohio rail-
road, and oil the rights, interests, and
privileges which by the statutes aforesaid
are conferred upon the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company when organized. .
would send copy of the contract, but
that it is not ready in it's completed form.
The above is its substance.
Ilearn that contract is being made with
an eminent clearinghouse of New York tor
negotiating in America and Europe Tor
bonds against mortgage to the amount OF
SlO,O00,000; yet upon the condition that
So. 0OO, 900 be reserved for the floating debt
of the Central Railroad Company. The pro
ceeds of these bonds, together with recent
subscriptions, will be sufficient for the COM
pletion of the road.
It is reported to the commissioners tna'
the total amount of subscriptions thus far
made to the preferred stock of the compa'
nv ia SO 500, 600. The amount already ex-
pended on the road is put down at SILL oo,'
900.
A contract is in course of contamination
between the company and the Tredegar Iron
Works Company for furnishing 10000 tons
of rails, spikes, etc., for the section to be
completed between this place and CoVing'
ton. learn that it is probable that the
Tredegar works will be engaged to supply
the iron for the entire road. This is mat
ter of considerable Importance to Richmond
and no action should be more commendable
in the eyes of our people than that tending
to so great an encouragement to msnutactu
rers in their midst.
Everything looks cheering, and strong
hopes are expressed for the steady construc'
ton of the road to its western terminus.

pETERsBURG. August 81, 1868.

L
Whatever may be the fluctuations Of
trade and the rise and fell of markets, other
matters connected with our social structure
preserve a remarkable uniformity. The
statistics of crime and of marriages and
deaths, if they show no increase, at least
show no falling off. They seem to be un-
der the influence of laws as potential as
those which pervade the physical world.
The number of arrests made by the police
for the month of August were ninety three,
of which forty were of white persons and
ffty-three negroes.
The number of prisoners now in the city
Jail are forty-one, only FIVE of whom are
whites. ....
The criminal cases tried by the Mayor
during the month amount to one hundred
and fourteen, and those on civil warrants
to thirty-two.
@Descending q little lower in the scale, we
find that during the " dog-days l4l dogs
of various grades were captured by the
corps specially detailed by the Mayor for
that service, 'lO3 of which were put to
death, leaving only thirty-eight which were
deemed by their masters worthy OF Deing
ransomed. The chief regret is that 80 few
were lah6u, duu tuos oAit U1tA ~>S
more, were not made away with.
Mayor Burgess has not shown his accus-
toned diligence in the monthly collection
of fines. Whether the disturbers Of the
public peace have been already taxed be-
yond their endurance, or whether the
Mayor is relapsing in the rigor of his ex-
actions is not known for he only collected
during the past month $3.50. An amount
about twice as great was assessed, but many
of the parties preferred going to Jail to pay
ing. ... -
We reserve the pleasanrest part Of the
record for the last. There is usually some
depression in the matrimonial market at
this season, but there were fourteen mar
riages in the month of August, of WHICH
eight were of white parties and six of
black.
1t is known among the friends of Mr..
Alexander Cameron, formerly Of this city,
but now of Richmond, that he will on to-
morrow Tuesday, morning lead to the
altar an accomplished young lady-Miss
Haxall-the daughter of one of your pro-
minent citizens. They will be married in
Orange county, at the country seat of her
father, from whence they will proceed to

The Masonic EXCURSION. will
be g. great Masonic reunion in St. Lou;s
Missouri, on the 18th instant, the occasio,
being the triennial convocation of knight,
Templar and General Grand Chapter o,
Royal Arch Masons. The Knights Templar
of Washington, d. G., and of other cities
will go to st. Louis in body. From this
city We learn that there will be fair dele.
cation, not only Of Knights Templar bp,
Of companions Of the Royal Arch and Mas.
ter Masons. By q communication from
Joseph B. Will, Eminent Commander Of
Washington Commandery No. |, of the
District Of Columbia, We are informed that
excursion tickets will be issued to all
brethren who desire to participate in
or witness the ceremonies, the fare
for the round trip from Washington to
St. Louis being only s2S.25. Ample ar
rangements have been made for special
train, with sleeping cars, through to St.
Louis via the Pittsburg, Crestline, and In.
dianapolis routes. The Baltimore and Ohio
railroad have made similar arrangemen,
ria Cincinnati, provided twenty-five round
trip tickets can be disposed OF. The eIcur.
sionists can thus, by dividing and ezchsns.
ing tickets at st. Louis, have the privilege
of going over both routes.
The arrangements have been made so IS
to include Royal Arch and Master Masons,
so that many who have not attained the
higher degrees will 60 on this delightful
trip. The St. Louis Masons will treat the
visiting brethren to an excursion to Denver
City, Colorado, which will doubtless be a
grand affair.

upon the rolling stock of the Virginia and

company by John o. L. Goggin, Esq,
Bishop Early, and others, who objected to
the proceeding on the ground that they held
the property as trustees under three deeds
of trust. Notwithstanding this objection
the levy was made, but the company was
allowed the privilege of running the usual
trains until further orders, it being express
~ understood that none Of the property le-
We'd upon should be removed. The Judg-
ments under which the levy was made were
rendered in suits for coupons at the spring
