The Central Railroad Company have at last
made an arrangement for the extension of the
railroad from Brennan TO Austin. contract
has been made with Mr.. w. H. Morgan, of Penn
sylvsnia, but it is yet conditioned upon the
acceptance of certain parties in the North with
whom he is connected. The contract price is
5000 900, half of which is to be placed subject to
the draft of the contractors as the work pro-
crosses. They are also to receive for q term Of
years, half the net earnings Of the road con-
structed by them. II the road proves half as
profitable as the main trunk, which cleared $780,
600 last month. the contract ought to prove q

STEAM ROASTED CoFFEE.-Consume-s will do

BURS1Na OF THE CAMDEN JoURSaL.-Our spe-
ecial correspondent in Camden sends the fol-
lowing account of the burning of the Camden
Journal: "The fire occurred between IL and II
O'Clock on Monday night, and the building
with its contents vas burned to the ground.
Nothing was saved OF books, press, type or
paper. There were two large and one job
press. The type was recently purchased.
Nearly the whole OF the interior was in fiames
before the fire was discovered. No insurance.
The loss falls heavili on the Messrs. Pegues,
the owners, and has deprived the citizens OF
medium essential to them in making known
their wants. The Journal had quite fayora-
BILE circulation, having increased largely since
coming into the hands Of the Messrs. Peaues;
but all this is by 'one fell swoop' lost to them,
and that by the hand Of the vile incendiary.
Such, at least, is the universal opinion, and
grounded on the fact that there had been no
fire in the ofice for weeks. If the opinion is
well founded, it may be but the frs gun-We
hope it may be the last."
